    Default 2012 Robberies

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    If boxing hadn't already beaten me into a state of disinterest and apathy, I'm sure I would be outraged.

    Right, and if you open the window a bit more, and add fights within the last year, Helenius-Peter and Lara-Williams. There have always been unpopular decisions in boxing, but bad decisions have become more commonplace it appears recently.

    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.
