Meehan Robbed

Kali Meehan beat Lamon Brewster for the WBO version of the heavyweight championship Saturday night. Unfortunately for Meehan, two of the judges didn't see it that way. I gave Meehan the victory by four, perhaps five points. Meehan pummelled Brewster in the eighth round. Without knocking Brewster down, Meehan probably scored a 10-8 round. Both fighters lack of defense, and ability to score with big punches, made for an exciting fight. On each judge's scorecard, the last round would decide the fight. Anyone watching the fight saw Meehan win the last round decisively--anyone except the judges, who unanimously gave the twelfth frame, and thus the fight, to Brewster. After the decision, Brewster appropriately announced: "give Don King the praise."
