Money's Worth

I don't know that I've ever been more disgusted with a judges' decision than I am tonight: Naoufel Ben Rabah took Juan Urango to school for 12 rounds, displaying style and intelligence and even wit. The fight was never even close, and an initially pro-Urango crowd, along with Teddy Atlas calling the fight, all expected to hear the cards read out unanimously for Ben Rabah. The cards were unanimous, all right - for Urango, who landed something like 18% of his punches. Urango claims the now vacant IBF welterweight belt, a belt about which nobody who gives a Mus Mus Tail about the sport should now have any reason to care.
