Was this a real robbery or only considered that by our Mexican posters?

Santiago won. A lot of close rounds but he deserved the decision. A draw is not the worst verdict I’ve seen but it’s the wrong one.

I had Ancajas winning 115-113. Ancajas was dictating the fight, controlling most of minutes of the round and landing more. He was winning when he fights outside but Barrios gets the better during the few wild exchanges.
So a draw is acceptable given the close fight and and some rounds hard to score.

It wasn't, people are overreacting again. The real robbery was that 118-111 scorecard for Santiago. I had it 7-5 Ancajas.
