Agreed, it was a robbery. At the same time, nobody had even pressed Carlos or threatened to last the distance. So it was impressive.
I was a big Davila fan, he tried for the title for so freaking long and came out won the first several rds against Pintor with ease. Lupe closed like a monster, but i thought Alberto had done enough early to finally get his strap.
Then he finally wins gold and the guy he took it from dies (Bejines). You could make a movie about Davila's career. the Duarte rematch is one of the bloodiest wars ever.
