Erislandy Lara vs Paul Williams was the worst robbery of 2011.
Richard Abril vs Brandon Rios will more than likely end up being the worst robbery of 2012.
Which Cuban boxer will get robbed in 2013, Gamboa? Rigondeaux? Lara again? Solis? Abril again?
Will this trend scare away the highly skilled and talented Cuban boxers from the United States? And will they instead fight in Europe, Asia, etc?
Just a coincidence...It happens to alot of foriegners who travel to the states which is why many don't and prefer to stay in their respective countries
anyone notice how they announced abril as being from "isla de pinos" rather than as it was renamed by the Revolution (before Abril was born by the way) "isla de la juventud".
how petty is it to do that?
That was just an awful decision, and yes Abril was holding a lot, but he didn't go in there and pull a Carlos Molina or anything, it wasn't as bad as that. I had Abril winning 118-110. I don't see how you could give Rios anymore than 1-2 rounds. Even 3 rounds is stretching it.
Campillo, as well as Lara and Abril, got robbed big time as well. I'm not even an Abril fan, I'm a Rios fan.
That was the most boring fight I have seen in a long tine, mostly do to the holding. How is it alright for one person to do a lot of excessive holding and not another?

I wasn't either. I am now.
Richard Abril made Brandon Rios look like a plodding caveman, not worthy to carry his spit bucket.
Campillo might have a say in it.
That was a terrible decision as well, a robbery. But the knock downs make it a lesser robbery than Abril-Rios IMO. Both are still robberies though.
