My opinion is we've seen a bigger robbery in the last year, in Williams vs Lara. Williams in that fight looked like he was going to come out brain damaged.

How do you manage to KO someone, win on points and still only come out with a draw!?

I think I'd go with Williams-Lara as the worst one I've seen this decade. Lara absolutely dominated and busted Williams face up. He inflicted a lot of damage to Williams and I think I only gave Williams 1 or 2 rounds and that was being generous.

Originally posted by tongue me View PostI still think fights like Campillo/Cloud, Campillo/Shumenov II, and Williams/Lara are a bit worse. For me, the difference is that in some (or all) of these fights, one guy looked to be really hurting his opponent and on the verge of possibly scoring a stoppage. In fights like that, the robberies just seem worse than simply getting outboxed like Rios did. It's still one of the worst though. That goes without saying. It's so disgusting we can typically see these robberies coming before the fight is even over.

I suggest watching that fight again without the commentating. They made it sound like Abril was peppering Rios when he wasn't doing ***** but playing defense. He didn't throw half the punches Rios threw and did get hit between his guard even though others will argue otherwise.
It's obvious the fight was fixed, but it wasn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be. Abril was in there against one of TR's main attractions; he had to know what he was in for.
Definitely not the biggest robbery of the year, letalone the decade. Campillo got it worse.
