For those who didn't see the fight tonight, here's my wrap-up of what happened. Rounds 1-3 Williams edges each one, both fighters wary of each other's power, pretty dreary fare really. Round 4. Starts cautious, but then both fighters begin to trade, Cintron buckles Williams with a fine right, but is getting caught frequently by flush Williams shots. Both fighters go into clinch, Williams falls backwards propelling Cintron out of the ring, onto a monitor and the ringside table then onto the floor.

Firstly, as was pointed out on the UK broadcast by Jim Watt, the ring was a disgrace. There was no tension in the ropes whatsoever, and as Williams fell into them first, there must have been an 80-100 cm gap in the ropes that Cintron went through. The ropes also weren't fastened together to prevent these larger spaces between ropes from occurring. If Cintron is seriously injured, I predict a sizable lawsuit against the organisers.

Secondly, at the end of the fight, the ref Lou Moret was firstly telling everyone that they were fighting under ABC rules therefore it was a no decision as four rounds hadn't been completed. After a few minutes of this, and discussing with TV people, Moret then states that they were actually fighting under Californian rules meaning the fourth round only had to START for it to be a legitimate fight, and then gave Williams a win by SD. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the ref go over the rules with the fighters in the dressing room beforehand. If he's giving out the wrong rules....then how are the fighters meant to know what else is different?

Yet another example of why Boxing needs a worldwide governing body with a uniform set of rules. Rant over.
