    Im hoping most boxing fans say no, but have you ever supported a fighter that much you were happy when they got a gift decision that you knew was wrong?

    I enjoyed watching Castillo-Mayweather I.

    Really like Trinidad-De La Hoya as well.

    Tito's my favourite fighter so if you consider his win over Oscar a robbery ... then, yeah - I enjoyed that one.
    A lot.

    No, but I would love to see a number of fighters get robbed. Sturm, because he is a gutless coward, and Valuev in particular.

    And basically fighters that recieve gift decisions themselves.

    I am not sure it was a robbery, but I enjoyed when Spinks beat Holmes both times. I loved Holmes expression when Spinks got it the second time. And I think Holmes is great, but it was sort of funny. No way was Spinks going to go the distance with Holmes and lose and Larry knew it.

    Even if I dislike the fighter I do not want to see a rightful winner ripped off.

    hardly a robbery.....coulda gone either way. the clear winner needs to have the decision go against him for it to qualify as a robbery. no way was castillo the clear winner...if he won it was by a very slim margin.:deal

    At the time, I was righteously angry at Shannon Briggs getting a gift decision over George Foreman, which sent Big George into his second and final retirement. In retrospect, I'm quite pleased that Briggs got that awful decision, because it set him up to get embarrassed by Lennox Lewis in his very next fight. Shannon Briggs has proven time and again to be an arrogant and egocentric man who spews vitriol against every other heavyweight all over this site, and yet aside from a lucky last-minute KO over Lyakhovich in a fight he was losing, hasn't performed at the world championship level in over 10 years. Shannon, if you're reading this, I have the utmost respect for you as a former heavyweight champion, however your repeated hatred and disrespect for your fellow boxers has earned you my dislike as an individual.
