    Many people are quick to cry robbery when their guy wins 7 rounds max. and doesn't get the decision. However, a close and competitive fight can never be a robbery. In the case of the rematch of Campillo and Shumenov the decision was a total disgrace. Campillo won 9-3 imo, if your very generous to Shumenov 8-4. It is totally impossible to give Shumenov any more rounds. How on earth did experienced judges like Patricia Morse Jarman and Jerry Roth give 9 slash 7 rounds? This was indeed highway robbery by Gary Shaw.

    Is there another decision in recent years that was that disgraceful? Williams vs. Lara comes to mind, but that fight was a lot closer imo. Shumenov was hitting Campillos gloves all night and running away while getting tagged with combination after combination. Thoughts?

    Judges hate Campillo.

    Murat got a couple gifts off him too.

    its pretty obvious by now that most judges for big fights get a brown envelope delivered to there hotel room with a little note attached to it. promoters have to get some kind assurance after all alot of money hangs in the balance

    I think that decision was just as bad as Chisora/Helenius from what I remember of it. Shumenov was getting plain beat up in some rounds and clearly lost. It's a shame for Campillo because he's good but also an unfashionalble fighter who is probably going to find it hard to get another title shot.

    I certainly can't think of a worse one in recent years. Even more shocking than Chisora-Helenius. The second half of Campillo-Shuemenov reminded me of Calzaghe-Lacy in its competitiveness.

    `Campillo is great imo, he got robbed vs shumenov and vs murat recently, also a previous close decision vs murat.
    He was recently brought in as a substitute to fight pascal or cloud I think, but showtime/hbo rejected it.

    Yeah they did, I feel kind of bad for the guy not getting any shots/credit.
    He is easily beltholder level.
