Urango Wins in Disputed Fashion

[moochi]

look at rabah.......he left tunisia for australia in 2000, did the hard yards in a foreign country, fought the eliminators and finally achieved a lifelong aim of having a world title shot...............he then fights very well and looks to achieve his lifelong dream of winning a world title and then something like this happens........

people will now focus on urango and maybe say he didn't deserve it, but people have already forgotten ben rabah!

Its the second time Rabah has been robbed..gotta feel sorry for the guy

[fluent2332]

robbed is an understatement. the funny part is, the new Florida commission promised Teddy Atlas that the judging would be so much better now, because in the past Teddy has given them hell over some terrible decisions. this one was probably one of the worst of all. and I KNEW the judging was suspect when two judges had it 50-45 for shwartz in the brown/shwartz fight. comon, theres no way he swept all 5 rounds. what the hell is wrong with the Florida judges??

Anyone else see this fight? I don't think I've ever seen a worse decision in my life. Pretty unfair to Rabah. And the really odd thing was how Urango raised his arms and screams after the final bell rang. Odd because he was embarrassed practically the entire fight unable to land much of anything. Why would he even pretend he thought he won? And then he again is raising his arms and cheering as the scores are being read as if to influence the judges at that point!? I didn't understand it. Then they announce the decision for him! It was crazy. Something's not right with the whole situation.

I did the round by round of the entire fight here:

You are correct in assessing it that way. This is the biggest screwjob I can ever recall seeing in a boxing ring.

teddy was probably flipping out afterwards haha. can anyone quote what he was saying after the decision

[DiegoFuego]

They kind of cut him and Tessitore off and let the credits roll. Tessitore was saying URANGO HAS A TITLE BELT AROUND HIS WAIST. He just couldn't believe it. Nor could I. Completely ridiclous.
