Rios - abril by far I mean what where the judged watching? 116-112? I had Rios winning 12 rounds a virtual shutout. You could even argue that some rounds where 10-8 rounds because the utter dominace of the boxing clinic rios put on.
I scored Rios-Abril 10-2 for Abril, and the best I can do for Rios is 9-3 maybe. 10-2 is what I usually arrive at the most though. Manny vs. Bradley I scored 9-3 for Manny. If I'm being as nice as possible to Bradley, I can get it to 8-4 Manny. Basically anywhere between 10-2 Manny and 8-4 Manny is acceptable. Cunningham vs. Adamek I scored 8-4 for Cunningham. Arslan vs. Huck I scored 8-4 for Arslan. Never managed to see Campillo-Cloud, so I can't comment on that one. Of the fights I've seen, Rios-Abril was the worst this year, followed by Manny/Bradley.
Which is worse: Root canal with no anesthesia, or a full-level tax audit by the IRS? I refuse to pick, though Campillo-Cloud is the one that bothers me the most. When an old warrior manages to dig deep, throw a master class, and school a full-of-himself young upstart, you gotta' love it. When THAT gets thrown away by the judges, well .....
I still get as mad, but it's more fleeting now. What can you do, really? It keeps happening. Not yet. I've seen Ruiz before, and been fairly impressed. He's super tall for BW, and uses the height well. He's got a puncher's record but can actually box very nicely. I'd imagine he posed some difficulties for Kameda? (whom I actually had losing to David De La Mora, so it doesn't come as a surprise anymore when the underdogs they import from overseas wind up pushing him to the limit...he simply isn't top-shelf and would be ground down and knocked out by Santa Cruz and absolutely schooled by Moreno. Hell, he isn't even Japan's best @ 118 - that's Yamanaka by quite some distance)
Nope, I had rios winning 12 rounds to zero embarrising Abril. Abril got a god given gift when someone even could remotly see him winning ONE round and then the judge had the audacity to give him _9_ rounds? Bap arum must be running out of money.:hey
