    116-114, 115-114, and 114-114 were the official scores, none of those scores are blowout scores.

    I am just playing devil's advocate here but maybe the judge scored it a draw to make the overall decision seem more believable?

    116-114? 115-114?
    I understand this is 10-point-must system, but it doesn't mean you must give 10 points to BOTH guys for a round.

    Not suprised, Boxing is the most corrupt sport in the world. Judges, Refs and Rankings are bought and sold everyday in boxing. Sadly this has been going on forever and it probably wont ever stop until there is some kind of Reform and Regulation.

    Boxing is one of the hardest sports and is also one of the dirtiest. Paul Williams lost that fight, it was either down to fixed judging or sleeping on the job. Williams just wasn't man enough to admit he lost.

    I remember when Ritchie Woodhall won a decision against Glenn Catley, he knew he lost the fight and said so on camera. Rare for a boxer to admit, Woodhall got alot of respect for saying that.

    I'm glad the ABC is getting involved because the New Jersey investigation is a big fat joke. Goossen brings the shows to Atlantic City which brings tax money to the state which makes them appoint judges to favor Goossen fighters which makes Goossen to come, everyone is happy, you don't even have to fix it, everybody knows his/her part. Remember Pierre Benoist, another Jersey judges? Of course Goossen comes back where he's getting fantastic treatment. Hope the ABC will kick some ass because Jersey certainly won't bite his own ass.

    Well, this is the cap on the bottle. Like if we needed more proof that Lara was robbed. They should reverse that decision and remove Goossen from boxing.

    You are right, admitting that he lost would be the " man thing to do ". But more than that, a true sport would also try to overturn the decision and give it to the one who actually won. But who is humble enough to do that? :huh

    Apparently, not Williams even though he seems like a nice kid.
