    Hilton Whittaker III, who scored the bout 115-114 for Williams, is listed as the USBO President and the Supervisor for the IBO. Williams was and is ranked #1 with the IBO. Obviously, there is a huge conflict of interest there if this is indeed the same guy. Now, suppose it was a mistake in name and this is Hilton Whittaker II, maybe his son, isnt it still a conflict of interest?

    Doesn't matter. All 3 scores were terrible and all 3 judges should never work again.

    But yes I would think that's a conflict of interest...

    But maybe that scenario happens more then we know...

    Judah was much more marketable at the time, still is, but that score could be justified imo though I scored the fight a draw.
