Judging 'travesty' gifts Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. a controversial decision win over Bryan Vera

CARSON, Calif. – Two weeks after C.J. Ross sent shockwaves through the boxing world with an incomprehensible scorecard, the judges were at it again.Ross' even scorecard in the Floyd Mayweather bout on Sept. 14 in Las Vegas caused controversy but ultimately didn't factor into the decision. On Saturday, though, the judging impacted the outcome in a negative way.Gwen Adair (98-92), Carla Caiz (97-93) and Dr. Lou Moret (96-94) unanimously called a fight for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. against Bryan Vera, raising boos from the pro-Chavez crowd of 5,206 at the StubHub Center and incensing the Vera camp.Yahoo Sports scored it 96-94 for Vera, who threw nearly twice as many punches as Chavez and landed 51 more over the course of the 10-round fight."The one judge had it 98-92, which basically means that Bryan Vera wasn't even in the fight and they didn't give him credit for a thing he did," Vera promoter Artie Pelullo said. "They gave him no credit for the quality of the fight that he had. It's like he didn't exist. It's unbelievable. I told the commissioner [Andy Foster, of the California State Athletic Commission], 'A judge in Nevada lost her job for doing this kind of thing.' 98-92? 97-93? What are you watching?" @fightnetradio
