    Lewis/Holyfield I
    Whitaker/Ramirez I
    Morales/Barrera II
    DLH/Mosely II

    3 of those I watched without knowing the result but Id heard about Whitaker/Ramirez before I saw it, there was 3 rds missing but of the rds I seen, Ramirez might have only won 2 maximum & according to the commentators Whitaker swept the rds that I missed also.

    Amir Khan vs mario kindelan II. I watched this fight in a bar and the TV was on silent (Loud music also) and i couldn't see the points in the corner of the screen.
    I thought Kindelan had won by a very wide margin but Khan was given the nod.
    Watching the fight the following day, the commentary team were screaming for every khan punch and not commenting on kindelan in the slightest. kindelan clearly landed numerous punches and combinations. They were not scored but every time khan breathed on the bloke he was given a point or two. Not the biggest robbery of all time on the night but a disgusting ploy to attract the casual fan which has now back fired and robbed us Brits of the chance to watch some decent up and comers such as Paul Smith Jr, Ajose Olusegun, Rendall Munroe, Kevin Mitchell etc. All mor established and more skillful. I guess khan's face just fitted... not anymore

    I forgot about Holyfield-Lewis I
    Whitaker-Rivera I was a rip off. No way Whitaker won.

    The most disgusting fight I ever watched was Reid/Ottke. To this day I can't get my head around how bad that fight was.

    Lewis-Holyfield was horrible and still has hurt boxing to this day.

    The entire country watched as by far the best two heavyweights faced each other, had a clear winner, and that said winner was cheated. To this day it has still had an effect and turned off the media and general public. No other fight comes close to the negative impact of that robbery.

    One fight that I still remember clearly and was a clear cut robbery was DLH vs Sturm. Many fights you could always argue it could have gone a certain way because of this or that. I can't see an argument for DLH winning the Sturm fight.

    I know no one gives a **** about women fights and normally I don't either but this one was on the undercard of Trinidad vs Reid.

    Christy Martin vs Belinda Laracuente. THe absolute worse decision I have ever seen. Martin lost pretty much every round looked foolish and amatuerish and still got the nod.
