    DLH vs Whitaker wasn't a robbery at all, I have said on another thread that I felt DLH won close but clear.

    Hatton vs Collazo is a decent fight, many people felt it was a stinker but it had me on the edge of my seat at times - especially in the first two and last two rounds.

    Agree with you 100% that it wasn't a robbery...Oscar won a close but clear decision.

    However, people are split 50/50 on who won that fight so that certainly makes it a controversial decision.

    Morales/Barrera II

    This was a bad decision, even worse when you watch with the sound turned down as the commentators like Barrera a little better & can sway you in close rds.

    Ps. Who were your winners for the above fights ?

    De La Hoya-Mosley I: Mosley
    De La Hoya-Trinidad: De La Hoya
    De La Hoya-Whitaker: De La Hoya
    Pacquiao-Marquez II: Marquez
    Leonard-Hagler: Hagler
    Johnson-Dawson: Dawson


    Mosley clearly won a close fight vs DLH.

    De La Hoya clearly won vs Trinidad...Robbery: Only 2 rounds Trinidad won CLEARLY.

    DLH clearly won a close fight vs whitaker from my perspective.

    I had marquez beating pacquiao. However, I could see someone having pacquiao winning the fight and would have no qualms about it.

    Hagler was downright robbed. Leonard only won like 2 rounds clearly...Even though Hagler looked as bad as ever, he was better than SRL that night.

    I had dawson winning a close decision.

    I actually thought the decision was fair. Murphy spent too much time being defensive and not doing enough offense of his own. MAGO threw a lot of back punches, although not all were his fault since Murphy turned his body when they came at him.

    I think anything worse than a Draw for DLH-Trinidad is just a bad scorecard.

    Felix only won 2 rounds clearly
