Shittu 'robbed' - are AI boxing judges the answer? Shittu, 24, was docked a point in both the second and third rounds but even without that, he would not have won after more controversial decision-making. "The referee has cost Shittu the contest," Woodhall said on TNT Sports. Despite Shittu appearing to land the majority of the blows, three of the judges gave the round to Ankush. Then when Shittu was punished for the same offence again despite hurting Ankush through the final round, the contest was effectively decided. Shittu would have lost without them.
