    Soooo many, you can't name just one. Ward over Kovalev in their first fight is right up there. Axel Schulz got screwed three fights in a row, Foreman, Botha, and Moorer.

    Pacquiao-Bradley 1....

    And it's the best win on Bradley's record

    That fight was an easy 118-110 win for Pac.

    Park Si-hun against Roy Jones Olympics 1988

    Pacqiao Horn.

    Look at face of Horn and Pacqiao after the fight. Horn looked like roast beef.

    Robin Reid vs Sven Ottke; the only fight I've seen where a fighter has been penalised for the heinous crime of punching the other fighter in the face.

    The worst I have ever seen was Brandon Rios vs Richar Abril. It was the most awful robbery I have ever witnessed. Abril completely nullified Rios for 11 rounds, and even the one round I gave Rio, I think the sixth, it was a 50/50. Shameful and in all of the fights I have seen past and present, that tops them.

    Sonny Martinez vs Campbell Hatton.

    probably the worst robbery ever. Martinez literally dominated every single round of the fight and lost

    Just came to write this, it was the first one that came to my mind, absolutely disgusting protection of the A side prospect, Martinez didn't even get a second payday. Sickening.

    I know this is about decisions but imma go with Tony Weeks calling off the Barroso fight as a stoppage for Rolly. One of the worst stoppages Ive ever seen and certified Weeks as a genuine scumbag.

    Not quite a robbery in the popular sense, but Abner Mares vs Joseph Agbeko I deserves a mention. The refereeing was superbly atrocious that night, and Agbeko had no way of winning that fight without scoring a lucky KO.
    Any time Agbeko built momentum, Mares would just punch him in the dick.

    I was gonna mention this one. Horrendous spectacle.

    Bouts like this give you a distaste for the entire sport.

    Kovalev-Ward I
    Lewis-Holyfield I
    Lomachenko-Haney

    Not many saw it, but Shishkin-Scull was one of the worst robberies I've ever seen.
