    Cruz basically was able to neutralize the then World champ Casa, and on that night didn't just win in our eyes, but beat the belt from the Champion in what was expected to be a fairly wide decision.

    Joel escaped with a SD, and Cruz never seemed to be the same fighter after.

    that result wasn't bad. The referee was terrible and tried to save Bute who didn't needed to be saved at all because of the IBF rules that were in place.
    The result was fine, he got up in time and the fight was over the second he started rising.

    That discussion has been done to death, while you just have to look at the facts, the clock and the rules in place.
    The referee was the distracting factor in all of that, while he was irrelevant for the situation itself.

    Porpramook vs Oleydong II
    Martinez vs Cintron
    Coggi vs Gonzalez I (poor decisions from the ref not the judges)

    the biggest rip off I ever seen by a country mile was Roy Jones Junior getting robbed of Olympic gold in Seoul Korea 1988. :patsch

    Trying not to just repeat the above posts...

    Abril Vs Rios was a shocker. Abril outboxed Rios and I didn't have it remotely close.

    Lewis VS Holyfield I. Lewis won 8 rounds minimum, again it just wasn't close.

    Abril Vs Rios was the worst robbery of recent times for sure.

    Walcott clearly beat Louis - by a landslide. But like true greats , Louis left no doubt about the result in the rematch.

    Same with Marcaino vs Starza. Rocky blitzed that guy second time out.
