One scorecard that was submitted for Derek Chisora vs Otto Wallin on Saturday night had fans up in arms.
‘Del Boy’ dropped Wallin twice in rounds 9 and 12 and dominated proceedings en route to a unanimous decision win.

The 41-year-old forced Wallin onto his heels for the majority of the fight and was the only one that landed any truly eye-catching punches.
Chisora sustained a cut above his right eye early on in the fight but besides that, he came under minimal adversity from a timid and gunshy Wallin.
At the end of the contest, most onlookers would have been hard-pressed to give Wallin more than two rounds.
However, one judge, Bence Kovac of Hungary, somehow scored the fight 114-112 Chisora.
That means that Kovacs would have drawn the bout if not for the two knockdowns.
Kovacs’s scorecard baffled fans, who took to social media in their droves to bash his judging.
One supporter wrote: “114-112 is a joke that judge should never judge again how he had it a draw going into the last round is a joke, saying that hats off to you Del Boy you definitely give us our money’s worth.”
Another added: “Should have gone to Specsavers.”
A third, shared the same sentiment as the first fan, posting: “Whoever scored 114-112 should never score a fight again.”
A fourth commented: “114-112 Chisora might just be the worst scorecard I’ve ever heard!!!”
Meanwhile, somebody else remarked: “Who the f*** just scored that Chisora fight 114-112? Two knockdowns and he battered him. What fight was he watching?
The other two judges had the clash much wider at 117-109 and 116-110.
Chisora is now expected to enter the IBF rankings at No.2 after winning the title eliminator in his penultimate professional outing.
Queensberry Promotions dubbed the event as ‘Last Dance’ but in reality, it was only Chisora’s farewell fight on British shores.
The rugged veteran will have one final bow abroad before hanging up his gloves for good at the 50-fight mark.
In the lead-up to fight night, Chisora called for his last dance to come against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou or long-time rival Dillian Whyte.
But in the immediate aftermath, he set his sights higher up the heavyweight mountain as he challenged Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.
