This is irresponsible journalism of the lowest quality, scraping the bottom of the barrel has new meaning. All of us have different opinions on a fight, it is only natural, especially one this close but articles like this, something that seems more akin to being a "fanboy" than an actual boxing fan, should never be published.
In my many years in the sport, the best writers I came across only wrote one or two articles such as this, most of them were about true robberies, such as Chavez's horrendous night against Whitaker. That was a robbery in almost every sense of the word. What happened last night was a spirited effort from an underdog against a perplexingly unpopular champion who has proven his worth by beating 4 former world champions, 2 of whom may be future Hall of Famers.
Writing an article of this ilk only fuels more unwarranted hatred, rather than providing a balanced view of events.
