The decision was a split decision in favour of Ritson. Vasquez CLEARLY won the fight by, in my opinion, at least 7 rounds. The SKY commentators and pundits gave it by even more to Vasquez and even Ritson’s manager Hearn said Vasquez had won the fight. The judge Terry O’Connor scored it 117 to 111 to Ritson. Photographs in today’s press show this judge on his phone whist he was supposed to be judging.
The usual coterie of judges used by the BBofControl should be shaken up. Some are very good whist others are abysmal.
