That was horrendous. Martinez beat up Campbell soup. That was clear corruption. Marcus McConnell is a competent ref but was clearly told to give Hatton the win regardless of the performance. Wouldn't want to hold back Hattons progession to ATG stardom !
This fight is never mentioned but the Contender stars Anthony Bosante vs Jesse Brinkley. They had a rematch it was only a 5 rounder but I thought Bosante won every round clearly and somehow all 3 judges had him losing including one judge having it 4-1 for Brinkley. Heres one write up of the fight on Boxrec. "This was a highly controversial decision. Many observers and announcers as well, only had Brinkley winning 1 round at best, and the crowd shouted for Bosante, who gave Brinkley a one-sided boxing lesson."
Don't think I saw it but Danny Garcia vs. Mauricio Herrera was a very silly scorecard Garcia vs Lamont Peterson as well, I had Lamont winning 116-112
I have a few that stood out from memory. Broner vs ponce de leon. Ponce de Leon won a close but clear fight, got robbed on the cards vs a rising star but one judge actually has it 99-91. Completely ridiculous. Sergio Martinez vs Paul Williams 1. This was a close war that Martinez arguably one. Yet one corrupt idiot judge had it 119-110... Also campillo vs shumenov. I remember bring outraged at this nowadays forgotten fight. Campillo clearly won. Yet corrupt judge known for bad cards patricia morse jarman gave the fight to shumenov 117-111 complete bs card! Campillo vs. Cloud 116-110 for cloud was complete bs as well. Fury lost vs mcdermott but got gifted a 98-92 card. Which was insane given how that fight went. No way Fury won 8 rounds, insane card.
Both by Vegas judges that should have been watching the fights instead of goofing off. They couldn't judge a flower show OR They were following instructions that the cash cow must "win"
116-111 and 115-112 for Hassan N'dam against Ryuto Murata. Speaking of Shumenov, the 114-113 that Gustavo Padilla awarded him against Hopkins is utterly mystifying.
That's the one that jumped into my head, absolute shocker. A local lad to me James Flint bossed Hatton and I honestly held my breath when the scores were being read out. I'd got money on Flint as I know his in-laws and knew he'd put the hours in., lost a sd last time out though.
There was a judge who had...and I hate to say this, who had Joshua beating Usyk. Can one of the dedicated fanboys explain that?
It really does speak to what a pathetic state of affairs it is that I don’t think I’ve ever seen a person say Joshua won that fight, but we just take it as a given that a professional judge scored it for him. Same to a lesser extent with Usyk v Fury.
Ggg vs canelo 1 Ggg vs canelo 2 Ggg won both imo Krusher vs ward 1 Clear kovalev win Lomachenko vs salido Lomachenko close win Lomachenko vs Lopez Draw Lomachenko vs haney Clear lomachenko win Korabev vs the pirat (I forgot his name) Clear korabeev win Provodnikov vs Bradley Clear provo win You see the pattern here. The western is robbing the hard working eastern Europeans and then talking about equality, what a fu... double standard... Thanks God usyk didn't fight wilder in the states, they would have robbed him, if the fight went to the scorecards
