Barrera Beats Juarez After The Fight Is Over?

CAPNCRUNCH · May 21, 2006

A supposed DRAW turns into a split-decision win for Barrera sometime after the fight is over and the network goes off the air? All because a scorecard was added wrong? This does not sound kosher to me. Is everybody grading this a Barrera win?

WTH?! I just checked boxrec.com and they do now have MAB as the winner by SD. I think most books offshore have a time period after a bout is completed or "Las Vegas rules" for a decision to stand and be considered final. When did this come out?

I graded Barrera a winner.

Man, this is the kind of thing that can cost brick and mortar sportsbooks in Nevada 'tons' of money. If you cashed out in the immediate aftermath on Juarez as a draw, you have your money in hand. Now, when the decision is announced that Barrera won by split decision, all the Barrerra people will get paid. But all the Juarez money that was already refunded is gone forever. I can remember well, how the lines at the cashier were really long immediately after a fight. Of course this was no Hearns- Hagler or Cooney-Holmes! LOL!

Since the fight was in Los Angeles, there was not as much action as it would have been had it been in Vegas.
This is a no-win situation and it is unbelievable that an error like that can be made (well, it is boxing so it is pretty believable).
