they both were the worst robberies that I have seen in a while, the sad part is in the shumenov vs campillo fight the judges were experienced and have no excuse, the scoring was wide by 2 of the judges both in opposite directions, tells how screwed up boxing is at times. Tonight was ineptitude by these new jersey judges.
Closeness or wideness of individual scorecards aside, Williams getting the nod over Lara is worse than Shumenov getting the nod over Campillo in their rematch. That is really saying something.
I didn't think I'd see a big-time decision as bad as Shumenov-Campillo again, or at least not so soon. Apparently that was just wishful thinking on my part. I think this may actually be worse, because Lara practically put on a masterclass against a guy who had more than twice the pro experience of him. On a side note, these robberies also really **** me off, along with all the other obvious reaosons, because I like both Shumenov and Williams. As crappy as it is when any fighter gets robbed, I really hate it when the guy I'm rooting for is the benefactor of it. I'd rather each guy just got the loss and moved on from it.
