Are you kidding?? That would've given JCC the first loss of his career. Unacceptable!
Instead..... it was through clenched teeth that the WBC allowed a decision to be awarded to Frankie Randall a couple of fights later.
(And that was only 'cause Frankie knocked his ass down).
Honestly, I don’t think the decision was a travesty. I don’t think it was a good decision, but I could see how a draw could have happened. It’s what I always refer to as a bad decision vs a robbery. A bad decision is where 75% or more viewers score it for one fighter and the other wins. A robbery is when there isn’t really a legitimate case for that fighter to win.
Examples for both. Both GGG and Canelo fights. I could see be results but a majority of fans disagreed with the results. Those were both bad decisions. A robbery is like Paul Williams against Erislandy Lara. There is no way to legitimately give Williams enough rounds to win that fight.
Don’t get confused and think that I thought that Chavez beat Pernell. I had Pernell winning, but there were some close rounds that I could see how a draw could have been scored if you gave Chavez the benefit of the doubt on most rounds.
