I was watching Showtime Boxing last night and the Perez vs Kriilov fight was a fucking sham! Krilov clearly won the fight, yet two judges gave the fight to Perez. Krilov won the first 7 rounds. Even if you give Perez 10 to Krilov's 8 in the 8th round for the knock down and every other round from there after to Perez he still shouldn't have won the fight.
This is all i could find on it:
Perez (24-1, 15 KOs), of Managua, Nicaragua, is one of the lighter division's most feared and crowd-pleasing boxer-punchers but he didn't look the part against Kirilov and many felt he was fortunate to come away victorious in his third title defense by the scores of 115-113, 114-113 and 110-117. The talented southpaw scored a knockdown in the eighth round, but he was wild with his deliveries, got beat to the punch and was rocked on several occasions. The victory was the ninth in a row for Perez.
Kirilov (28-3, 10 KOs), of St. Petersburg, Russia, fought the fight of his life in the fight of his life in his United States debut, but fell short. Despite spotting the defending champion three inches in height, Kirilov seemingly could not miss with right hands and gained confidence as the bout progressed. A boxer who doesn't run, Kirilov made Perez miss often and appeared to frustrate him for much of the 36 minutes. The heart-breaking defeat was Kirilov's second in a world title fight. He lost a close 12-round decision to World Boxing Council (WBC) 115-pound champ Masamori Tokuyama on Jan. 3, 2004, in Osaka, Japan.
