10 worst robberies you know

Out of the 1s I've seen:

Lewis-Holyfield 1 (Lewis 9 rounds)
Whitaker-Chavez (Whitaker 9+ rounds)
Delahoya-Trinidad (Delahoya 9+ rounds)
Quartey-Delahoya (Quartey 9rounds)
Sturm-Delahoya
Vanzie-Earl (1&2 - a British Title fight, Vanzie won around 9+ rounds of each and lost each fight)
Otke-Reid/Starie/Mitchell/Johnson

This Year

D Hopkins-Forbes

Probably a load more that skip my mind

Still today score cards are blatantly decided pre-fight. The fighter that makes business sense wins. Even when they choose the right man, they give him far too many rounds (Barrera-Pacman and Barrera-Marquez)

 

Of the fights I've seen:

Jeff Fenech vs. Azumah Nelson I (Had it 117-111 for Fenech)
Tyrone Everett vs. Alfredo Escalera (Had it 146-140 for Everett)
Lennox Lewis vs. Evander Holyfield I (Had in 117-111 for Lewis)
Pernell Whitaker vs. Julio Cesar Chavez (Had it 117-111 for Whitaker)
Felix Strurm vs. Oscar de la Hoya ( Had it 118-112 for Sturm)
Fighting Harada vs. Johnny Famechon I (Had it 145-140 for Harada)
Pernell Whitaker vs. Jose Luis Ramirez I (Had it 118-113 for Whitaker)
Larry Holmes vs. Michael Spinks II (Had it 145-141 for Holmes)
Marvin Hagler vs. Vito Antufermo I (Had it 145-141 for Hagler)
Rocky Lockridge vs. Wilfredo Gomez (Had it 145-142 for Gomez)

And a few other contenders:

Jung Koo Chang vs. Hilario Zapata I (145-142 Chang)
Azumah Nelson vs. Jesse James Leija I (116-113 Nelson)
Oscar de la Hoya vs. Felix Trinidad (116-112 for DLH)

 

Shurely shome mishtake? :huh


ps. Great scorecards by the way.

 

ROFLMAO, **** yeah... sorry bout that. Should read Lockridge of course :good

 

Foreman-Briggs comes to mind.

Some would argue Hagler-Leonard.

Hearns-Leonard II

 

The worst one was James Toney getting his ass handed to him by David Tiberi (who had Toney really hurt with body shots) and Toney got the NOD. Walcott VS Joe Louis 1..... so many closer fights that could have gone the other way

 

one of the most appualing ones was eubank-watson I.it was clearly a watsaon fight eubank didnt land enough to gain a score lead...unbe****ingleivable.

 

People are getting controversial decisions decisons mixed up with robberies IMO.

The only two out and out robberies I have ever known of in my time are Escalera/Everett (which probably was a fix) and Whitaker/RamirezI.

 

Some opinions I respect. I don't have a problem with you have Quartey beating De La Hoya, but to have him winning 9 rounds outright makes me wonder what people are watching

Your scoring of that particluar fight, ridiculous.

 

Whitaker-Chavez 93, that was despicable..:verysad

I thought Pernell won at least 8 rounds in that fight..

 

So what margin of victory do you consider a robbery? For me, if over 90% of writers/public, etc go with one guy then it's a robbery (e.g. Whitaker-Chavez, Fenech-Nelson).

 

Ali-Terrel:good

 

Anyone else think Johnson-Pastrano was a stinker? How about Bonavena-Patterson?

 

Robbery for me. When a fighter clearly dominates rounds, and wins the vast majority of rounds, but doesn't get the decision.

I agree when you said its over 90% of the public/writers as well.

Leonard v Hagler seems to be a controversial decision which is split 50/50 on opinions to who won.

De La Hoya v Trinidad I can say without question is a decision that 90% of writers/fans think De La Hoya won.
