2000 Olympian Jose Navarro lost a split decision the other night in Tokyo to Japanese WBC Junior-Bantamweight champion Katsushige Kawashima. Oddly two of the judges scored it closely in favor of the defending champion by scores of 115-114 and 115-113 while the third judge, Canadian William Boodhoo had a lopsided card of 120-109 in favor of the Californian native, Jose Navarro. Close calls given to the hometown fighter are a regular and inherit part of the sport, but this case is kind of different since there was such a large discrepancy in the judges’ final scorecards.
