I want to watch a GOOD ACTION fight w/ a controversial decision (similar to pacman-marquez fights)... What fights shall I take a look at?
These are all entertaining fights where the decisions were controversial or debatable. James Toney-Mike McCallum 1 Marco Antonio Barrera-Erik Morales 1 Micky Ward-Arturo Gatti 1 Chad Dawson-Glencoffe Johnson Ivan Robinson-Arturo Gatti 1 Sugar Ray Leonard-Marvin Hagler Muhammad Ali-Earnie Shavers Eusebio Pedroza-Juan LaPorte Floyd Mayweather-Jose Luis Castillo 1 Lennox Lewis-Ray Mercer Julio Cesar Chavez-Juan Laporte Fernando Vargas-Winky Wright Jermaine Taylor-Winky Wright Evander Holyfield-Riddick Bowe 2
Rounds 1-3: Gatti Round 4: Ward 10-8 (point deduction aside, it was a close round) Round 5: Ward Rounds 6-7: Gatti Round 8: Ward Round 9: Ward 10-8 Round 10: Gatti 94-94
Bowe-Holyfield and Leonard-Hagler are really bad... But they pale in comparison to Larry Holmes vs. Spinx. It was a robbery with a clear motivation - to keep Holmes from getting Rocky Marciano's record.
Bowe-Holyfield 2 and Leonard-Hagler were close fights that could've gone either way. Spinks-Holmes 1? That decision was fine. The rematch was a robbery. Holmes won 9 rounds. But on the subject of Holmes, here's another fight that fights the subject. Holmes-Witherspoon.
Ok, you guys obviously can name a lot of controversial decisions off the top of your head...Which ones were most entertaining (besides gatti-ward and pacman-marquez fights)???
This fight isn't exactly the most entertaining fight, but it really is the biggest robbery I've ever seen Emanuel Augustus vs. Courtney Burton. I had every round for Augustus and the decision went to Burton. I just remember that it was a FNF fight so Teddy Atlas just got into the ring and started yelling at the ref and judges.
