The White Mexican may have been robbed here. He did know service to his cause by looking like he trained at a dive in East LA on cervezas and nachos.

Ps it was poor weekend for White Mexican boxers as only JCC Jr won over the weekend. John Molina was a human punching bag in a loss to Terrance Crawford.

Molina looked awful. Missed weight and looked sick and drained. Clearly he was a sacrificial lamb for the over hyped Crawford. They keep putting Crawford in with guys who can't punch. Of course we all know why. The second he meets a puncher it's all over.

Who is Crawford?

I don't know about molina and ruiz being white mexicans. They look more like mestizos to me. Parker is a white-samoan mix. His father was named after Jack Dempsey. At least he wasn't named after Mike Tyson.

Top NZ Officials says Ruiz was ripped off
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing

Leading New Zealand boxing official Lance Revill has showed his disapproval with the majority points victory his countryman Joseph Parker scored over Mexico’s Andy Ruiz on Saturday in Auckland New Zealand, proclaiming that Ruiz was “ripped off” against Parker

“Joseph Parker didn’t win that fight,” Revill told the New Zealand Herald. “Get real New Zealand. We haven’t got a New Zealand heavyweight champion. We got ripped off. It was a lopsided fight and I feel sorry for Andy Ruiz. Something stinks about this fight, something stinks about the whole set-up. There wasn’t a bad word said about Joseph Parker. The whole press is on his side, he’s been given a dream ride right through.”

Parker’s promoter, Dean Lonergan of Duco Events responded, “I can’t believe that Lance Revill, a man who has been involved in boxing all his life, would come out and be as negative and disrespectful as he has been. Lance Revill is nothing but an irrelevance and he should crawl back into his hole of obscurity and lock the door with the key of irrelevance because, bottom line, the guy’s an idiot!”

Revill is the President of the New Zealand Boxing Association.

How come I don't seeing any Nevada boxing official saying the same thing about the far worse Kovalev ripoff? Probably because they'd get whacked by the Mafia if they did - or at least get the crap beaten out of them by their "rubber band exerciser" (aka Fat Louie and his crew) like Senator Harry Reid.

Kovalev-Ward was a real robbery. I had Kovalev winning 116-111, same as Lederman. It really wasn't a close fight overall, although a few of the rounds were close.

Ruiz-Parker was a home gift decision, but it was a close fight and not really a robbery as such. I thought Ruiz won 115-113 but neither fighter was impressive. Ruiz tired by the middle rounds. Parker isn't really a top heavyweight.

Yes Kovalev was a more obvious winner, this fight was more of case of the judges being forced to give rounds to either a fighter who was gassed and winging punches down the stretch or a guy who was throwing arm punches and nearly running down the stretch. I never scored the fight but the scoring seemed rather typical of home town cooking.

Ps when it comes to Latinos if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck it is a duck. Granted both Ruiz and Molina have aboriginal ancestry but both need a sp factor if they hit the beaches in Miami unlike say Eric Molina. I have seen much darker people in Latin America argue they were pure Castillan when they had obvious non European blood.
