I agree that he had a legit beef. I just didn't like the rant. I'm sure part of what he said can be blamed on just getting out of the "heat of battle" and he was still pumped up.

I also agree that the 1 judge who scored the bout lopsided needs to be removed. The 116-112 posted by the other judge is questionable (maybe even highly questionable), but as close as the fight was, he shouldn't be banned. Suspended -- maybe. But not banned.
