FIGHT judges Salven Lagumbay and Danrex Tapdasan saw Rey “Boom Boom” Bautista, gutsy but lightless, the clear loser. They submitted identical scores of 114-111 in favor of Jose “Negro” Ramirez, a Mexican journeyman who, according to one of the ringside commentators, had previously been knocked out thrice.
A third judge surprisingly saw Bautista the winner on a score of 114-111. Bautista was not totally outclassed, despite suffering a first-round knockdown.
