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
Yes please let people know that boxing fans are outraged at these two decisions in particular. Many I'm sure would be willing to sign a petition supporting a formal protest and overturning of this Rios vs. Abril decision.Quote:

There you go. So far this year, and we're only in April, there have been controversies surrounding four fights. It's ridiculous.Quote:

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).Quote:

Thanks. I signed it. Could you create a thread specifically for this ? I think we should all re post this on tweeter and facebook and encourage even our non boxing fan friends to sign it.Quote:

Can i just say that the Cloud vs Campillio fight was much closer than the Rios vs Abril fight , harder to score and certainly not as wide as most of the scores i collected for the Abril vs Rios match eg: 118-110.
Cloud vs Campillio 42 of 46 scores i collected thought Campillio won....42-3-1 in total......i scored the fight 114-112 Campillio
Abril vs Rios 73 of 77 scores i collected thought Abril won......73-3-1 in total...i scored the fight 118-110 Abril
I think Abril gave the fight away by being too defensive. Granted he was defensively very sound and his punches were clean. But in the mid rounds he stopped pumping the jab.
What happened to Monila was heart breaking though.
And cloud...he should take a note from hearns or hell even De La Hoya. Be a man and admit you got spanked.
