CHRIS EUBANK JR has criticized Matthew Macklin, a former boxer and Sky Sports commentator for scoring the fight against Liam Williams.
Eubank, 32 years old, defeated Welshman Williams in Cardiff by unanimous decision on Saturday night.
Chris Eubank Jr. was unhappy that Matthew Macklin was fighting close going into the final round
Official scorecards showed Eubank as the winner, with four knockdowns. He won the contest 116-109 (116-108), 117-109 and 117-109.
Macklin was still in control of the fight going into the 12th round, scoring it 104-101 before the end.
Eubank Jr, despite winning the game, was furious with Macklin's analysis. He tweeted: "So, what did you think of Saturday's commentary?
"I am still scratching my heads at Matt Macklin’s scorecard.
"I think Sky Sports Boxing should buy this fool a pair glasses before he talks again about boxing or maybe it's jealousy blinding him.
"Either way, pretty shocking."
Macklin quickly responded to the criticisms of the boxer and justified his scorecard.
The ex-world title challenger replied, "I chose you to win and thought that after the first four rounds, you would get the stoppage."
"I was puzzled that you didn’t put the pedal on, and was content to coast.
"I think you have thrown away the middle rounds by doing very little!"
"Looking at the part does not win rounds. Punches landed wins rounds."
