However, Josh Taylor somehow managed to escape with a split-decision victory which left almost everyone surprised. Jake Paul chipped in with his thoughts on the same and suggested a new way of scoring fights which could help avoid poor decisions in the sport moving forward.
'The Problem Child' took to Twitter and said:
"I think there should be 6 boxing judges for title fights, 3 pairs of 2. Each pair has to agree on the same score at the end of the round & if they don’t they briefly debate their reasoning. Almost like a jury system. These poor decisions change the shape of the sport forever."
