"I felt I won the fight but I had to accept the result," said a remarkably positive Miguel Vazquez just a couple of weeks after he lost one of the year's more hotly-disputed decisions. The Mexican lost a split verdict to Lewis Ritson in Peterborough on October 17, his second controversial defeat in the UK following a points defeat to Ohara Davies last year.

The judges for the ritson fight should have been called before the board to explain their scoring. None of them were close, the decision was (another) blatant Hearn funded robbery.

Hearn called the decision a robbery, and the BBBofC pick the judges, so I don't know what you're talking about. It's a problem in general that house fighters of the top promoters get favoured, be that with Warren (Davies/Vazquez), Goldenboy or whoever. The judges should be held to account via the boards or commissions that use them, especially when their inconsistencies are repeated.

IIRC one judge was but was cleared of any wrong doings, forget his name one of the UK posters will tell you. Terry somethingorother.

Yes, it's definitely a matter for the governing athletic boards. Thanks.
