Gift decisions

Whitaker was not a runner. He used more backwards movement than usual against Chavez, but he usually stayed in the pocket and liked to circle. He was also adept at fighting inside, or coming forward and being sneaky with his right elbow/forearm, then coming with a left uppercut after that.

Chavez-Whitaker wasn't as bad of a robbery as it's often made out to be, but Whitaker still won it 8-4 on my card. The problem was mainly that Whitaker won rounds so much more clearly than Chavez did. Some of the early rounds were close, and could go to Chavez. Whitaker won his rounds by wider margins.

Whitaker deserved it, but the decision is far from the Escalera-Everett, Holyfield-Lewis I field of robberies.

 

The Escalera-Everett fight made me cry when I first saw it knowing that he died right after it.

 

What were the circumstances?

I mean did his wife walk in on him with the tranny, or found out about it and confronted him, or what?

From what I've seen of Everett, he would've given Arguello a tough fight too.

 

Chris Eubank-Michael Watson I

I hesitate to call Eubank's rematch with Nigel Benn a "gift", but I had Benn ahead 115-113.

 

Tranny he go shot by his girlfriend in Philiadelphia. That and Left Eye burning up Andre Rison's house let me know that chick's from philly are crazy.

 

Sturm-DLH is one of the worst robberies I've ever seen. That was a legit robbery. Some fights the scoring is totally **** and you think "that was a robbery". But there's not always a clear motive for it to be a real robbery, in the sense that it was genuinely corrupt, as opposed to simply woeful scoring. There was with DLH: a HUGE fight with Hopkins to unify the four middleweight titles. Tens of millions of dollars.

The score cards might as well have been filled out before the opening bell. No way DLH was losing as long as he could stand on two feet.

 

Yeah, his girlfriend killed him for ****ing a tranny.

At least that's what I've read on basically every boxing message board (and from the smart posters, too).

 

Oh **** I didn't know he caught with a Tranny that's some gay **** right there .

 

Not even close.atsch

 

Ike and Oscar was close.

Tito got an early christmas gift in September

 

Yeah to score it in his favor, Get over it buddy. Oscar sealed it in the 12th:hi:

James Toney-Dave Tiberi

 

Pernell Whitaker-Julio Cesar Chavez.
I rewatched this last week. Yes Whataker did move backwards during the fight but he also moved forwards as well. He allways had Chavez in range. He picked Chavez apart from a distance and out worked him up close.
