    What are the controversial decisions you actually agreed with the judges on? Of course this is inspired by other recent threads and decisions.

    I’ll start:

    Lomachenko and Haney. I don’t recall the details exactly, but I remember at the time, I felt like it was real close going into the last couple rounds, with Haney winning the first few and Loma having a very strong mid-late round surge… Then Loma let up while Haney kept pressing in the last round or two. I felt like that won him the fight. At worst, I felt like it was truly a “could have went either way” but not a robbery.

    This is kind of ironic because I really, REALLY dislike Haney, and I’m a huge fan of Loma.

    Canelo - GGG 2 is one for me as well. I thought he pressed the action and was really impressed by the unexpected and effective change in strategy from the first fight.

    Mayweather vs Castillo. I thought Floyd had a big lead after 5 rounds and Castillo put himself too far behind. The scorecards may have been a little wide but the right man won.

    Beterbiev vs Bivol- Bivol just wasn't active enough. Especially in the championship rounds. IMO he didn't finish the fight strong. 2 out of the 3 judges had Bivol up after 9 rounds. All 3 gave Beterbiev the championship rounds. I agree with him. It's hard to win when you lose all of the championship rounds.

    Ward vs Kovalev 1- I know I'm in the super minority with this one but I thought Ward did enough. He got dropped early but I thought he did enough with getting on the inside and attacking Kovalev's body to sneak it out. All 3 judges had it 114-113. I scored it the same.

    Canelo vs GGG 2- I honestly thought midway through that Canelo was CLEARLY beating GGG. What made the fight close was Canelo starting to fade and GGG started banking in rounds after that. I scored it 7-5. Same as the judges.

    Pacquiao vs Horn- Maybe the most controversial of them all LOL. Watching the fight when it happened I legitimately scored the fight 7-5 for Horn. I didn't even think there was any controversy outside of that crazy 9-3 score. Then when the fight ends, Teddy Atlas is losing his mind saying Pacquiao was robbed. I go online and everyone saying it was a blatant robbery. I didn't see it then and still don't see it. It was a close fight that I scored for Horn.

    Windmill Wilder v Fury 1.

    I was OK with a draw. 2 knockdowns plus quite a few rounds of little action that could've gone either way.

    Haney-Loma - imo 115-113 Haney, and I cannot stand Haney
    Beterbiev-Bivol - imo 115-113 Beterbiev
    Fury-McDermott - imo 96-94 Fury
    Parker-Chisora 1 - imo 115-112 Parker
    Pacquiao-Marquez 2 and 3 - I had Pacquiao winning both, 2nd fight 115-112, 3rd fight 115-113
    Canelo-GGG 1 - obviously the 118-110 scorecard was ridiculous but I had it a draw
