    Any close fight or mildly bad decision here gets called a robbery, but this one truly earned the billing.

    I can't fathom how anyone had BS winning this fight. He got dominated and arguably should have had one round go against him (without a KD) 10-8. There is NO WAY he won.

    Campillo may be the 3rd best LHW in the world at the moment after Dawson and Hopkins.

    I hope they turn this fight into a NC, but I think they should give Campillo a mandatory right and insert Uzelkov into the picture already.

    Enough with Campillo vs Shumenov, do we really need a third controversial fight between them? Shumenov's people have money and contacts, do the math.

    There is a good chance Uzelkov (the mandatory) will KO both, and considering Campillo will need a couple of months to heal from the cut he suffered, it would be a good idea to imediatelly order negotiations between Shumenov and Uzelkov, with a purse bid scheduled to no later than 30 days from now, and the winner fights Campillo next.

    And they say Campillo-Shumenov I was a robbery.

    This is BULL****, man. I know there's always been robberies like this in boxing, but they seem to become more and more frequent. I feel sorry for Campillo. Short of a knockout, you can hardly beat your opponent more decisively than he did. And it's not like you could argue that he lost rounds because of he was running or taking rounds off. No excuses; this is pure corruption.

    He also got a raw deal against Karo Murat in Germany, although at least that was a close fight (which always goes to the German).

    I hope he gets a third match with fair judging, so he can retain his title, because as others said, no one is going to want to fight him without being able to win a belt.
