"There was a general let down; Julio did not live up to expectations. He was supposed to lose three or four rounds and then wipe the guy out. In Mexico, seven out of ten newspapers agreed that Whitaker was robbed, and maybe eight of ten people believe Whitaker won." --Fernando Paramo of the Los Angeles-based La Opinion, quoted in an article written by Steve Farhood, The Ring, January 1994.
The Ring scored the fight: 117-111, Whitaker, giving Whitaker rounds 2 to 8, as well as the 10th and 11th.

Originally posted by psychopathFinally somebody got to ask this? Would there be any worst robbery in boxing history than when a judge and the ref both commited blunders to deny the rightful winner the victory with two belts and titles at stake?
Would you honestly believe that at the Pac/JMM fight . . . a judge can misscore a round and the ref didn't deduct a point after so many low blow warnings? Until now I'm still shock that the boxing bodies and boxing commision involve didn't lift a finger to correct that result and infact denied the protest from
team Pac for "lack of merit".
The degree of worseness depends on what is at stake in the fight . . . I believe.
