Comments Thread For: Arum Jabs Rios vs Abril Referee For Not Taking Points

[mathed]

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum was unhappy with the officiating in Saturday's main event at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, which saw Brandon Rios (30-0-1, 22KOs) win a controversial twelve round split decision over WBA interim-lightweight champion Richard Abril. The scores were 116-112, 115-112 for Rios and 117-111 for Abril.

Screw you Arum, I'm sick of your stinking corruption, the public doesn't care what you say. Taking points????

I'd say the judges took all of Abril's rounds and gave them to Rios already, you old worthless sack of pig schit!!

It is time to Boycott all Arum PPV's and locate the free streams. For Arum to not mention the the blind judges and rant about the Ref is ***ing sick. I don't like Abrils style but he owned Rios. Yet ANOTHER Arum-bought decision. This **** is getting OLD!!!

Bob Arum needs to hurry up and die the greedy old shrivelled prune.....

Arum lives off of hate, you want to get to him, ignore him and his "fighters". I'm happy Gamboa is breaking free of him, I look forward to seeing him in real fights in the future.

I'm waiting for that compuclinch video to turn up that shows all the clinches. It didn't seem like that much to me, especially compared to Bradley, Ward, and Molina's last fight.

F you arum!

i can't stress it enough......bob arum's a scumbag

I don't like Arum, but he's right. Abril didn't come to fight, he won a hugging contest and that ****** ref should have deducted points for excessive holding.

What does a lower contender/B level type of fighter have to do to beat the bigger name guys? Boxing continually stacks the odd's against these little known fighters it's sickening. I'm not a huge fan of the "stick and clinch" style but Abril deserved the W and Rios should have more of a backlash for coming in 2 lbs overweight. Never mind the fact that Rios couldn't adjust to Abril's style but how many clean punches did he land? What a rip off Bob.
