    Why do you capitalize the first letter of each word?

    The scoring was terrible, however it was not the biggest or most ridiculous robbery ever.

    Juan Coggi-Eder Gonzalez 1 is.

    Unless there was another fight when one guy, in actuality, knocks out his opponent or wins via disqualifiction more than THREE times in one round, yet still manages to officially lose the fight.

    RJJ in the olympics final.

    No matter what other examples we can think of there is no other example that comes close to this. RJJ won every minute of every round - and still lost the fight ?!?!?!?

    Yes indeed, considering it is for the undisputed HW championship.

    Anyone that paid for Tyson-McNeeley. McNeeleys corner and Don King = pretty obvious corruption.

    Not that it wasn't a disgrace what happened in Seoul, but to say "nothing comes close" is ignorant and ridiculous.

    Referee Jack Welsh picking up Ad Wolgast from the canvas and counting out Mexican Joe Rivers "doesn't come close"???

    Juan Coggi getting knocked out or DQ'd 3 times in one round but ending up with the win "doesn't come close"???

    Please.
