Victor Galindez W15 Yaqui Lopez (1978): was it really a robbery?

[kenmore]

What do you guys think? I haven't seen the fight yet, but I've read different things about it. I remember the Associated Press and United Press International reporting, the next day in the papers, that Galindez won cleanly. The boxing magazines however reported the bout as a robbery.

Fans on boxing boards these days say different things, with many of them believing, in fact, that Galindez's win was legimitate.

Please share your views and analysis.

I like Victor Galindez, but he won three consecutive fights by 15 rd decision, then a rematch with Yaqui Lopez by 15 rd decisions all in Italy.

Throw in the Mike Rossman "rematch" where Galindez, as "challenger", would not come out of his dressing room because he didn't like an official, and still got a later rematch, then the track record does not look too good.

It was always tough to beat Galindez and the WBA at the same time on the same night.
