    I believe one judge had Tyson ahead against Douglas before the knockout. I could be wrong on that. Also Ali/Spinks 1. I think Ali won the fight on one card considering he basically did nothing for most of the fight that was scandalous.

    Ray Arcel was one of a kind. He had so much respect in the boxing world. Not your typical trainer

    All 3 judges scoring the 10th rnd for Ward and not for Kovalev was clear corruption and it showed they were never going to score the fight in Kovalev favor to begin with.

    Either you lying to yourself or you better get your eyes checked quickly My G . Fair and Square my Ass . Kovalev spanked Dre and put that L on his forehead .

    But Better yet , you explained to me how the hell Dre was given that 10th rnd when he didn't do a damn thing in the rnd at all ? Because if that's not corruption , then please explain to me what is ?

    Im waiting on your response...

    "Champs like Dempsey and Jeffries drawing the colour line". Didn't Joe Louis only defend against a minimum of black fighters until he fought his friend John Henry Lewis (LtHvy Champ), then Jersey Joe Walcott 10 years later.

    I had no idea they all scored the 10th for Ward. He barely laid a glove on Kovalev in that round, and was completely dominated by Kovalev. Hmmm.....

    Whatever. That fight was there for Kov to win but he let Ward off the hook, gave him too much respect, and allowed Ward to take over. Anyone who calls a close fight like that a robbery much less corrupt is biased as hell.

    Ismael Laguna vs Carlos Ortiz I was pretty bad, the right man won but Ortiz“s manager bought one judge (the one that scored a draw). Crazy that the fight was so one-sided that even that judge gave it a draw... he was beaten by panamanian fans btw outside of his hotel.

    Did Liston take a dive? That punch didn't look awful powerful.
