    Not sure if anyone else had money on Cintron, but I had £30 on Cintron winning a decision, looked decent at 12-1. Yes I know the general consensus was that Williams would outbox Cintron, but Cintron was looking pretty slick and I felt things were beginning to hot up, Cintron would be getting the better of the exchanges. Well dunno, I know it was a brave bet, or perhaps stupid hehe.

    Now here is my gripe, how the hell can the ref first say 4 rounds need to be completed and since 4 rounds were not completed, it should be a no contest. Then he's going, under California rules you can score the fight after 3? can anyone confirm this is actually true? or some bull**** they came up with as they went along? If thats the case then, why did they not score 3 rounds, and score all 4 rounnds, with the 4th round still in progress!!

    My question is, perhaps some of you betting guru's can tell me, do I have a case of getting my money back?? since this decision has dodgy and scandalous written all over it! I mean sure there is NO WAY they can score the 4th round?? Or am I missing something?

    Rainmaker....you have more chance of firing a cannon out of your arse than getting a bet back....and it's less painfull...

    Hmmm thought so hehe. What if the decision gets over turned and is ruled a NC? I know just clutching at straws I guess. Dammit!!! what a stupid outcome! As you can tell I am slightly bitter.
