Okay, good point. The way I read it, without a knock out or a knock down. It leaves it open for people to interpret the match however they wish. You can list the excuses:
1. Bradley took it easy. 2. If this was an MMA match Bradley would have killed him. 3. DK Yoo Cheated. 4. DK Yoo did okay against a man 10 years younger, 20 Lbs heavier and with a 5 inch reach advantage. 5. DK Yoo had injured himself. 6. How come Bradley didn't knock out DK Yoo? He was 20 Lbs heavier and with a 5 inch reach advantage.
If someone was sparked out on the floor all of those conversations go away. This way each side can claim some victory, judges decision or not. That's why I said its a carnival show.

Not unlike the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. bout insofar as differing opinions regarding who won, but at least both of them actually possess professional boxing skills.

It was a carnival show, because DK Yoo's hugging and falling on the floor. At least Brad came to fight. Regardless of who won, Yoo didn't apply his demo techniques. The list of excuses is what Yoo's marketing team is trying to spin. But from reading comments on videos on Yoo's channel, it doesn't seem to be working. SVG Sports has copyright blocked many of the fight videos with commentary, except for Yoo's videos. So, I wouldn't be surprised if Yoo's team posts fake, favorable comments. Yoo talked about planning future fights with McGregor, Paul brothers, etc. My guess is he wants to be another Jake Paul making millions in boxing matches with his billionaire promoter. But, I don't see that plan working. Because, Yoo has not shown the ability to fight at a decent level. In a real boxing match against Jake Paul, I believe Yoo would be KOd. At first, many people looked at Jake Paul's fights as a money grab. However, many have gained respect for Jake. Because, Jake trains hard, tries to fight and respects the sport.
