Hilton Whittaker III, who scored the fight for Williams, also happens to be the President of the USBO and an IBO representative which is a conflict of interest and a direct violation of the Ali Act if he were allowed to judge a bout.
If you go to the boxrec page for the fight, Armstrong is listed as a judge with a hyperlink for his name. When you click on these hyperlinks it normally takes you to a list of fights they have judged so you can see their scorecards.
In this case if you click on Armstrong's name you get a page with nothing on it. It doesn't even link you to the Williams-Lara result. See for yourself.

So one of two things happened here.
1) Hilton Armstrong was allowed to illegally judge a boxing match despite being an official of a ranking body
or
2) Somebody else, who is supposed to remain anonymous, scored the fight and it was instead listed under Armstrong's name to disguise the actual culprit.
