'Match and probably better' him?

What the fuck lad? Being unbiased is a good place to start when reporting on a fight mate. Everyone can see this was a come from behind win for Burns.

Good article though, not bashing the quality of the article, just the bias.

Thanks for the replies guys. From Ringside i thought Burns was throwing and scoring more. I was 2nd row from Ring so i had no excuses for my score. I was really surprised when i saw the SKY SPORTS monitors and they had Gonzalez 5-1 up. I quickly check with some beside me who all but 1 had Burns up at this time, on my original card i had Burns up 3-2-1 (on TV i had 4-2 Gonzalez). The rest of the fight was easy to score so that how i came up with my 5-3-1 Ringside scores to my 5-4 Gonzalez score from TV.

Interesting how the way you view a fight can dramatically effect how you see it going.

Good example is Oscar - mosley 2. Plenty had Oscar well ahead watching on tv. Barely anyone on press row had him winning.

Shane's punches were markedly harder in the arena. But the commentary and Oscar's activity made people think he was in charge.

It doesn't make someone biased automatically. Incidentally, I thought Mosley won that fight.
