Did anyone score the fight for Rios?

[TitoFan]

Well, let's see....

There's Rios himself, Robert Garcia, Rios' parents, the two corrupt judges...... and wait..... it appears Fenster also scored it for Rios. That would be a total of 7 people. Add a few close (and blind) friends in there, his wife (and/or girlfriend), and you'd be pushing what..... about 15-20 people that probably scored the fight for Rios.

Go figure.

Well that's just plain stupid.

I had at least 20 people round my house. Everyone thought Rios won and not one of us even watched it. Close fight. No robbery. Fact.

Joke, right?





















.... right?

i thought abril won....but i can see how it was scored for rios.

rios was the agressor. he moved forward and tried over and over to initiate exchanges.
while abril ran and held and clinched. rios threw alot of punches in those clinches that we at home, with the benefit of tv could see were being blocked by abril's right, but judges don't have that advantage.

the last few rounds went to rios. the second round went to him as well. being the bigger name... they may have given him the first round as well... there's 4 rounds right there.

so its not such a suprise that he was given the win.

i'm not agreeing with it... but i'm not suprised.

Fenster.

In seriousness, without having to assume beforehand that the judges are incompetent and corrupt, it SHOULD be a hell of a surprise. To say it isn't is only to acknowledge what a farce the sport is. If the judges can't tell that Rios aggression wasn't effective and he was clearly losing rounds then what the hell are they doing there, why don't they have a better angle of the action? It's outrageous, a monkey could've scored this for Abril and if boxing had a shred of respect for it's audience or accountability then this simply could not happen on a PPV card.
