List Your Obviously Corrupt/Incorrect Decisions In Boxing Here . . .

The reason for this thread is that people are making it out like Diaz vs Malignaggi was the worst robbery since The Great Train Robbery of '63. It really wasn't. It was a competitive bout. It's just that a particular judge's scoring didn't reflect that. If the bout was scored 115-113 by all three judges in favor of Diaz there would be no uproar. It's not necesarily the outcome that's in question. It's the margin. Now don't get me wrong, it could have easily gon 115-113 Malignaggi but, hey, it is what it is.

So the goal here is to show that "robbery" in boxing is rather commonplace and the Malignaggi fight is no unusual occurrence. I'll start off by naming a few . . .

Malignaggi vs Ndou II
Malignaggi vs Ngoudjo
Trinidad vs De La Hoya
De La Hoya vs Sturm
Briggs vs Foreman
Kid Diamond vs Huerta
Holyfield vs Valuev
Schulz vs Foreman
Whitaker vs Chavez
Casamayor vs Santa Cruz
Holyfield vs Lewis I
Hatton vs Collazo
Jones Jr. vs Tarver I
Wright vs Vargas
Quartey vs Forest (RIP)
De La Hoya vs Whitaker
Ayala vs Dianzo
Augustus vs Burton
Whitaker vs Ramirez
Mosley vs De La Hoya I or II
Mayweather vs Castillo I
Collazo vs Berto
Ottke vs Reid
Hopkins vs Forbes
Hearns vs Leonard II

Now all the fights listed above either have a clear cut winner who was not awarded the bout or the bout could have gone either way yet the winner won by preposterous margins. There's probably a couple that are just real close. This is by no means a complete listing of all the "robberies" that have occurred in boxing. These are just some of the more memorable and recent ones. Please feel free to add your own "robberies" or state who you feel actually won the bouts that I've listed and which are the most egregious ones on my list.

 

Bute Andrade 1 - should have been Andrade KO12 Bute
Ibeabuchi Tua - should have been a draw , or maybe even tua
Toney Tiberi
Toney Johnson
maybe also castro johnson 1,2
ottke is a serial benefitor of incorrect decisions.
all i know is erdei garay 1,2 were in germany and you know how it is with fights in germany as a rule of thumb.

 

Oh, and pretty much any loss that Glencoffe Johnson ever took.

Oh, and that Bute vs Andrade **** was ****in' disgraceful.

Hometown stoppages feature:

Chavez vs Taylor
Cotto vs Corley
Clazaghe vs Manfredo
Lewis vs Klitschko (not really a hometown stoppage but since he came to fight they shoulda allowed him to fight. Besides, that's the last exciting heavyweight fight I can recall witnessing.)

People who quit vs their opponent because they were losing but tried to use a cut as a cop out include:

Camacho Jr vs Leija
Guerrero vs Yordan
Ortiz vs Maidana
Judah vs Clottey
Campbell vs Bradley

 

one of the worst ,,,, Humberto Soto vs francisco lorenzo

 

Cortez should have been suspended indefinitely for that one. It was the fistic equivalent of watching an older driver causing a ten car pileup.

 

Oh yeah, can't believe I forgot that one in terms of stoppages. That was one of the weirdest turn of events I've ever seen. Feel bad for Soto. He was whoopin' Lorenzo's ass.

 

i know... i have watched some bad decision from Joe ... but that one was hilarious

 

I remember sitting there in shock with a whole bunch of "casual" fans who were asking why no one couldn't at least get Lorenzo a towel. Dude was sitting in a corner practically bleeding to death while Cortez was busy covering his ass talking to officials.

That entire scene still makes me sick.

 

brodie-jorrin was a blatant robbery

barrera-morales 1 & 2 were incorrect imo,the wrong guy got the decision in both fights

castillo-mayweather 1 was incorrect imo,as was marquez-pacquiao 1&2,i still believe jmm won both

 

Escalera-Everett
Coggi-Gonzalez 1

 

Toney-Peter 1.
De La Hoya-Sturm.

Those are the only blatantly obvious ones I can think of. I've seen plenty of close ones go one way or the other, but in the fights above both of the "losing" fighters clearly dominated.

 

Lewis vs Holyfield 1 always sticks out in my mind.

manny and MARQUEZ 1.2
