As for the judges, I would say that strange verdicts happen everywhere, why? I dunno, they didn't see the fight the same way or perhaps that the fact that there is a huge rivalry between Interbox and Gym did plays a bit of role, especially considering that the Grant brothers are hugely popular here and because they work with GYM which is the promotion powerhouse in Quebec at the moment (mainly because of the great influence of Yvon Michel, rated as one of the top 25 most important boxing figure on the scene at the moment). Not saying that it is the reason of the verdict but it realistically could have played a small role.
So a company that had no interest in the fight was somehow controlling the judges to spite InterBox?

Honestly, it could... not saying it did but it could there has been a tons of bad blood between Yvon Michel and Eric Lucas because of some things that did happen during the era where Yvon Michel and Lucas were both in Interbox... they don't like each others but keep it civics, I am not kidding here, these facts are well known in Quebec and some articles on RDS have been written about it, I could skim the archives to see if I could find them...
As for the shut out... let's say that 10 (admitting we give Andrade 2) to 2 is quite a shut out
