    So what fights do you look back on and say "My guy won, but he shouldn't have"?

    Recently, it's Toney-Oquendo. I'm a big JT fan but he lost that one soundly. He hardly did a thing in that fight. I think I scored it 115-111 or something similar.

    What about all of you?

    Froch-Dirrell, though Dirrell didn't really convince he deserved it outright, Froch did **** all.

    Delahoya-Sturm
    Chavez-Whittaker
    Ali-Young
    Holyfield-Ruiz I
    Tapia-Medina
    Lopez-Quartey Even though Lopez dropped Ike twice i dont feel he did enough throughout the fight to deserve a draw.
    Barrera-Morales II But it evens out cause Barrera should have got the first one.

    Most of my favorites have gotten ripped off more than recieved gifts.

    Ali-Norton fights ring a bell. Morales-Barrera 1, although I absolutely despise Barrera, he boxed beautifully that night and should have gotten the decision.

    Why do you despise Barrera?

    Boxed beautifully? The first fight was an absolute war, though I had Barrera winning 114-113.

    watched the 3rd ali-norton fight recently and i thought norton just shaded it.
    also i couldnt have argued if mercer had of got the decision over lewis. it wasnt so much of a gift as a close call

    Morales-Espadas I (I scored that even but the judges had it way too wide in Morales favour, likely because he was the name fighter)

    Chavez-Randall II (The doctor consulting JCC before stopping it was just outright weird)

    Ali-Norton III (Only seen highlights but most think Norton won)

    Ali-Young (Never seen this, dont intend to ever watch it unless its for a big bet)

    Nice guy smile which is bull****, dirty fighter when things arent going his way.

    He hits Mckinney at a press conference then does likewise to Morales & fkn runs away when Morales goes for him.

    Usually complains like a spoiled child after a loss.

    I think he truly he is a nice guy, but not someone to fu*k with Actually Mckinney and Morales got what they deserve. Mckinney was the one talking **** trying to get all Loco and yelling in Barreras face well Barrera showed him without talking a bunch of ****. Morales too. I didnt see Barrera run i dont know what your tallking about.
    I wouldnt say he is dirty he just knows all the tricks of the trade but hes not flagrant. If you wanna talk about Hamed well i thought that was hilarious when he slammed Naz around letting him know this aint no ****ing circus man! This is boxing not fencing:bbb
    Maybe its a cultural thing Mexicans arent into getting in each others face and talking ****,and if a fighter does beware of the consequences.

    I had Mercer winning that fight when I scored it. I agree it was competitive enough, may not have called it a robbery but yeah, I thought Mercer deserved it.

    Can't believe no one has mentioned this one:

    Trinidad - DelaHoya

    Loved Tito...the nearest thing to a bomber since The Hitman...but he lost that fight.DLH boxed his ears off that night...made him look like a chump.

    Biggest fan of Tito's...but he lost that one.

    I agree that was a big time robbery but Tito isnt one of my favorites thats why i didnt mention him although im not a hater i think he was exciting he just fought a couple of my favorites like Vargas,Delahoya.

    I rooted for him in other fights though.
