    Knock your opponent out to get a draw. Like Don King would say; "Only in America!"
    Maravilla vs Cintron was one of the worst things I've seen since watching boxing.

    Martinez-Cintron takes the cake since he literally had to get a knockout to get a draw.

    Here's some other ones that come to mind, trying to avoid too many repeats:

    *Mo Hooker-Perez fight on the Kovalev-Ward undercard was criminal.

    *Shumenov-Campillo II was textbook highway robbery.

    *Erdei got screwed against Grachev and should've had an unbeaten record.

    I had some beer in me, but I thought Emmett Linton beat Allan Green. At the very least, the hometown cards were way too wide. Tiberi-Toney was another one.

    There has been fights where the score should have been 120-108 and they still screwed it up, so I'll say that there have been much worse robberies.

    On the undercard of Kovalev Ward (merely a bad decision) there was a fight between two guys called Hooker and Perez. Hooker lost practically every round and was gifted an embarrassing draw. It was unreal, maybe the worst decision I've seen in years.

    The worst robbery ever might be Toney vs Tiberi. Toney got such a huge gift that it led to an official investigation of the whole sport by the US Congress. Tiberi was so disgusted that he never boxed again.

    I thought Ortiz clearly edged that fight.

    The fact that Cintron was KO'd and lost 8 rounds to get a draw....yes....I would indeed call that one of the worst robberies ever.
