Scores were 113-112 for Gorres, 114-112 for Darchinyan and the third judge saw it 113-113.More to come...
I read a pretty good RBR at another site. it sounded like Gorres got dropped in round 5 legit but that was not counted while they screwed up in round 1. The guy had Darchinian winning by 3.
..... Looking around the Pacland forum it appears Darchinian may have been robbed. I'll wait until I see it for myself.
