10 controversial decisions and/or close fights - who do you think won?

Hagler vs. Leonard - Leonard by a round

Mayweather vs. Castillo I - Mayweather by a round

Pacquiao vs. Marquez III - 116-112 Marquez

Hopkins vs. Calzaghe - Calzaghe by a round

Oscar vs. Whitaker - Whitaker by a round

Oscar vs. Mosley II - Oscar by a round

Canelo vs. Lara - Alvarez by a round

Broner vs. Malignaggi - DRAW

Lomachenko vs. Salido - Salido by a round

Pacquiao vs. Bradley I - 117-111 Pacquiao

EDIT: The only fights on this list that weren't decided by 1 round difference (for a draw, at least) on my card were both the Pacquiao fights. Both Mayweather and Castillo lost a point, so I had that 114-112 Mayweather. Calzaghe got dropped, so I had that 114-113 Calzaghe.

It's pretty shocking how many people score Mayweather - Castillo I for Castillo.

The same with Hopkins - Calzaghe for Hopkins.

Both were close fights for sure but you have to score round by round and I don't see what rounds people are giving Castillo and Hopkins to give them the wins. They're actually quite easy and clear to score despite being close.

It's probably got something to do with the 2 of them being undefeated and people are desperate to give them a de facto loss.

 

hopkins did do the cleaner work though

 

I think the highlighted guys deserved to win

 

Hagler
Castillo
JMM
Hopkins
Whitaker
DLH
Lara
Pacquiao

Left out Broner-Malignaggi and Lomachenko-Salido because I haven't seen those fights.

 

SRL

Castillo. - This fight is undeniably clear as well.

JMM

Calzaghe

Whitaker

DLH

Draw

Broner

Salido by 1 point.

Pacquaio wide. Not a close fight.
​

 

Hagler - the second Hearns fight was a greater robbery,,...

Castillo - the stats don't lie.....

Pacquiao - the effective aggression, ring generalship and the clean hard punches,, he got 3/4,,... If Pacquiao did not engage,, there would have been no fight at all,, Marquez was willing to wait for 12 rounds..

Calzaghe - he controlled the fight from round 4 onwards,,...

ODLH - he is the clear victor,, maybe you are referring the the Chavez-Whitaker fight????

ODLH - just because SSM doped

Draw - I was gonna tell I wanted to see a rematch,, but maybe I should just watch it again its not gonna change right????

Broner - Slapping doesn't give you a W

Lomachenko - Salido threw hundreds of low blow,, he should have been disqualified.....

Pacquiao - easy

 

Hagler-SRL = Hagler not by much

Mayweather-Castillo I = Castillo took his 0

Pacquiao-JMM III = Pacquiao did not deserve to win this fight , I scored the fight a DRAW .

Hopkins-Calzaghe = Hopkins landed the better punches , Calzaghe threw more punches . Pain in the ass fight to watch

ODLH-Whitaker - Would mind the decision going the other way

ODLH-Mosley II - Delahoya avenged his loss to Mosley that night , we all saw it

Canelo-Lara = Lara clearly won the fight , last time i check winning 5 rnds is nowhere near enough for you to get a decision . Canelo cant complain saying all Lara did was run when Canelo himself was the only fighter getting his head popped back the majority of the fight .

Broner-Malignaggi - Broner won the fight in my eyes , yet I can see how some people could have Malignaggi edging it

Lomachenko-Salido - Unfortunately I did not see this fight .

Pacquiao-Bradley I - One of the easiest fights of Mannys career , i'll leave it at that .

 

these

 

Hagler-SRL (Hagler) I had it 7-5 for Marvelous

Mayweather-Castillo I (JLC) I had it 8-4 for el Temible

Pacquiao-JMM III (Pacqioua) Had it 8-4 Pac

Hopkins-Calzaghe (Calzaghe) Had it for the slapster by 9-3

ODLH-Whitaker (Oscar) 8-4

ODLH-Mosley II (Oscar) but a draw woulda been OK IMO.

Canelo-Lara (Lara) but a draw woulda been OK too.

Broner-Malignaggi (Broner) 8-4 And I hate him

Lomachenko-Salido (Salido) 7-5 but I think he shoulda lost points for low blows and holding and hitting.

Pacquiao-Bradley I (Pacqioua) Had it 9-3 Pac with Manny dominating 6 of the rds, and edging 3 of the other very close rds.

 

I'd like to add, that although I thought Salido was fouling, Castillo landed the harder shots, more of them, and stopped by the ref from fighting inside......Pac vs Bradley 1 was the ONLY true robbery of the listed close fights.:think
