    I’m talking about fight series where two rivals split the series or where one fighter had a marginal edge overall in the official results but you yourself judged it that one fighter swept the series or took it more convincingly than the official results.

    e.g. Barrera-Morales was officially 2-1 to Barrera, with the first fight an SD to Morales, the second a UD to Barrera and the third an MD to Barrera again. Did anyone have it 3-0 Barrera or 3-0 Morales?

    Another example was Griffith-Rodriguez’s 4-fight series which ended 3-1 Griffith with 3 of the 4 ending in split decisions and Rodriguez taking the one UD. Did anyone have this 3-1 or 4-0 Rodriguez or a sweep for Griffith?

    And, perhaps most famously, Ali-Norton which finished 2-1 Ali who took one SD and one UD over Norton’s one SD win. Did you have Norton or Ali 3-0?

    I had MAB-Morales 3-0.

    The first two fights are honestly as close as fights get though IMO. It's a myth that MAB was robbed in 2000 and EM was robbed in 2002.

    I saw Juan Manuel Marquez as the winner in all 4 fights against Manny Pacquiao, with 3 fights going the distance and thus being "score-able".
    I also had Glen Johnson winning all 3 fights against Clinton Woods in the trilogy They had.

    Don't think any of those fights were blatant robberies - maybe outside of one in the Woods vs Johnson series - but I favored one guy personally.

    marquez vs pacquiao - i had 2-1-1 to marquez, the first a draw, the second a clear win to marquez in my opinion, and the rest i agreed with the result
    toney vs mccallum - 1-1-1 i had the first a draw and the second a clear win for mccallum and always felt it was a robbery
    ali vs norton - 2-1 to norton i had norton taking the third fight
    canelo vs ggg - 1-1-1 ggg the first, the second a draw, the third canelo

    Not wide but I have no problem with the results of Canelo vs Golovkin fights.

    the second fight is the one i thought was more decisive

    I thought James Toney beat Montel Griffin twice, they for me were both bad decisions that I thought Toney clearly won.

    Are you the Addie that loves Wynona Horowitz?

    I had Greb winning all the Tunney bouts except for the last one.
    GGG is 2-1 vs Canelo.
    Norton 2-1 vs Ali.

    The past-tense would be more accurate, but yes.
