Williams should have been declared the winner. Williams said he deserved a draw. That would have left Holmes champ anyway. Showed Holmes was vulnerable for Spinks
Williams won this fight....He deserved so much more from this cruel sports. One of the good guy of boxing who never got what he deserved from a pretty good career......
Over the years my friends have tried to convince me that Williams was robbed.Being a die hard Larry Holmes fan l did not budge. This morning with nothing pressing to do l watched this bout with neutral eyes. As a former ref judge l scored it and lo and behold l now think Carl won this fight. Larry had started to slip at this point.
Kid got robbed coz he quit fighting 10- 15. Started coasting and avoiding. Surprised Holmes didn't go to the body early and often. Waited way too late. Abandoned it down the stretch. At worst , a draw for the kid. Made Larry look old n sliw with that wicked left jab. But, it was all he had. Good fight. Champ got the favor that night.
Nah!! Holmes got an "incumbent champion's " decision. As was the case when Witherspoon kicked his ass but got robbed in like manner. He is one of the top 10 yeah... but not on those days. Period !!!

Were the judges paid? I'd have understood a close split decision (incumbency, reputation); but a big-gap unanimous ... nope!
Scored the rounds 12-3 Williams.
