    One of the worst robberies in the history of high profile fights. How did you score it?

    I had JCC winning rounds 1,2,9.

    117-111 Sweet Pea.

    Agreed. One sided afair. Chavez won three rounds max. How anyone can think otherwise is idiocracy of epic proportion.

    The judges should have given Pea the Pts. win.
    But they didn't, Chavez was worth more $.

    Check the ODLH Vs. Trinidad fight.
    (What do they both have in common..... Don King)

    But overall the fight was a dud.
    (& a reminder to those who beg for Pac Vs. PBF of what can happen when certain styles clash)

    I agree totally. And Pac/Mayweather is definitely this generations Sweet Pea/JCC. And that fight will pan out similarly imo.

    Too true, unfortunately you can say that about a lot of robbings...In close fights, it seems to be the deciding factor all too often...It's more than just DK...

    Whitaker vs Chavez = Mayweather vs Marquez

    It was a bad decision but ive seen worst Ive seen it several times and always score it 116-112, 116-113.. Being nice to Chavez i think the closest i had was 115-113.


    Worst decisions in big fights

    Lewis-Holyfield I
    FUneka-Guzman I
    Froch- Dirrell
    Martinez-Cintron

    Trindad-Delahoya was at least as bad (i had it 116-112)

    People act as if Whitaker dominated, the guy was just shoe shining, never came forward and never hurt Chavez. He might have won the fight by no means did he dominate a past his prime welterweight Chavez.

    9-3 Whitaker. That fight was easy to score.

    You Mexican?

    You don't have to hurt your opponent to outbox him.

    saw this one live. chavez was my favorite fighter at the time and i felt bad watching him get frustrated by pea. most of the people there felt pea won and it was a completely pro chavez crowd. i knew it was the beginning of the end for the unbeatable monster he once was.

    Actually it looked wider than it actually was.. Chavez never had his way or dominated but he did win a few of those early rounds as well as another one by pressing,outhustling Sweet Pea...

    Where as Sweet pea won a number of rounds consectively.. And dominated quite afew of them.. But since their were no knockdowns and neither man deserved any 10-8 rounds. ...iT WASNT AS WIDE AS MANY WOULD HAVE YOU THINK.

    Just like Delahoya-Whittaker if you score that by rounds.. ODLh clearly won that fight.. Some think it was controversial cause they just remember when WHittaker showed off his slick moves and counterpunching, making Oscar look bad at times... But he didnt do that the whole fight and Oscar took most of those rounds.
