Cloud-Campillo
Rios-Abril
There were others, right? Help me out, I'm blanking.
As far as boxing dropping the ball, we can add the Texas/WBA drug test failure after the Junior/Rubio fight to the list.

It wasn't a judges decision, but Kirkland-Molina was either obvious corruption or blatant incompetence.
they are basically the 2 that i have noticed with my blog...there have been some bad individual score which never affected the fight eg: vasquez jnr vs Donaire..a judge had vasquez winning
i will have my article with all the scores collected up on teh blog tommorrow
Let me put it this way:
On a scale from 1-100, with 100 being the worst robbery possible, the Abril-Rios fight would score a 450. The second worst robbery of the year would fall somewhere in the 1-100 range. That's how bad this piece of shit decision was.
Illuminating is the contrast in the impact of the careers on the winners/losers of the above fights.
Winners:
Cloud is facing Jean Pascal in a big-money fight in Canada in the second half of 2012.
Kirkland is rumored to be at the front of the line for a fight with Alvarez on September 15, 2012.
Rios appears still poised to face Marquez on July 14, 2012.
Losers:
Campillo - no fight scheduled
Molina - no fight scheduled
Abril - no fight scheduled.
Good point, but you do need to account for the fact that the gift-winners were stars to begin with (hence the gifts). I don't think Marquez would be fighting Abril next even if he had been given the victory he earned, for instance. But Rios wouldn't be getting the fight either -- that much is almost certainly true (Mayweather/Judah counterexamples aside).
Anyone pissed with the shitty cards and decisions, sign this petition, takes 1 minute of your time. Maybe pass it on
