    I mean come on? any of you guys seen a fight more recently that was this lopsided go into the others favour? only shumenov vs campillo 2 comes to mind imo. I had Abril winning 11-1, at best you could argue for rios to win 2 rounds but thats it imo.
    Try convincing your friends to watch this sport and justify this ****, bob arum made abril get ****ed over like sturm vs hoya to get the rios vs marquez bigger fight for the summer.
    Those 2 judges should be banned for life from the sport and any user claiming rios won or justifying why he got the decision cause of abril's style or something should be permabanned.
    True disgracefull robbery that makes boxing look very bad, its similair to if fedchenko had beaten marquez after the clinic jmm put on.
    Its all bull**** anyway, rios get schooled by jmmthen has another close fight with pac he doesnt get the win for and everyone will have forgotten about abril and the cancer of boxing that is bob arum will have his pockets filled again.

    I had Rios winning the first 3 rounds. I was tempted to score the first a draw tho.
     
  4. did u work the fight last night?

    what kind of hotel perks did you get from top rank? what was in the envelope? what kind of champagne do they serve in first class??

    did u fill in the rest of the rounds ahead of time?

    I dont know if its the worst, I think there is a certain level of robbery and if your in that level your all equal. The writing is on the wall though, it has been for years. I predicted the scores around the 9th round. Abril's style was not a style that will sell, and he has no fan base, these type of guys consistently lose decisions against hyped fighters or stars or favourites. They need to go out and completely dominate to win a round on some of these judges scorecards, its ridiculous. I was searching and searching for live betting online during the fight i was going to throw down a bunch of money of rios and the draw as I thought maybe its so obvious abril won that they will at least give him the draw (thats how tainted my mindset is to these types of fights).

    Thats another thing, these robberies happen so often we dont even look surprised anymore, we expect them to get robbed.
    Im usually worried and pissed afterwards in a fight like hopkins vs pascal 1 or pac vs jmm 3, fights you know one guy won 90% will say it, but the hometown guy or cashcow could argue for a draw so the guy that deserves it doesnt get the win.
    But this was really extreme, there is no way rios even won more than a few rounds, I honestly want to see those 2 judges called out on tv to justify their card, they are either incompetent or totally corrupt, the latter being the most logical.
    This really has to change, they are ruining one of the sports I like so much.
    There has to be some

    Only the Helenius fight can compete imo with the onesidedness of the fight and actual scorecards compared the result
