There is literally no alternate dimension where Ford is not a mediocre plodding pillow-fisted bobblehead.

As for the judges, I think often times bad scorecards are the result of indirect (and often unconscious) bias. The judges know who the house's fighter is, they know who's footing the event, their eyes naturally are drawn to the guy they expect to be the favorite. Because of these things, they give the benefit of the doubt to one guy (or girl) when they score the round.

I can tell by what you wrote that you’re young and that you never fought. Ford doesn’t win in any scenario. He loses this fight in the amateurs and in the pros. This decision needs to be overturned and everyone involved in this decision needs to be investigated. People are betting and losing money on these rigged fights.

They had it crazy wrong! I have no problem with that, I just see Ford landing cleaner and more professional with his punch selection.
Vasquez was countering Ford's jab most of the night with overhand rights and clearly outworked and outlanded Ford on the ropes,especially to the body. Vasquez was robbed of a hard fought victory and there's no way to spin it any other way.

Ford a landed a few "flashy" combos at his range but the vast majority of his punches were short and/or hit gloves. What good is it to land the more "professional" punches if you're clearly getting outworked and are being outlanded 2/1??

His last fight before this was probably the best I've seen him so I was hoping to see more but there isn;t much progression. Luckily for viewers, the ref was on top of the normal amount of holding he does which is why the fight was entertaining enough. I thought it was "close", Vazquez had some lulls; but it definitely felt like Ford needed a round or two.
I had some hope that the score would be better given the previous fight on the card had the right score. I'll watch a rematch but the ref will be a factor imo
