    For example I watched Brodie vs Chi 1 recently of course it's a great fight and competitive but I don't see any argument for Brodie deserving a draw all the rounds were pretty easy to score and Brodie clearly lost IMO in a competitive fight hence I think its a bad decision.

    What are your examples ?

    Mayweather-Castillo 1 obviously. Competitive fight, yes, but JLC won clear as day.

    Samuel Peter-James Toney 1
    Erik Morales-Marco Antonio Barrera 1
    Boogaloo Watts-Marvin Hagler 1
    Vito Antufermo-Marvin Hagler 1
    Saul Alvarez-GGG 1

    I think most bad decisions/robberies are competitive fights. Sometimes you’ll get a guy who dominates and gets robbed, but usually it’s at least competitive.

    Holyfield-Ruiz III. I thought Holyfield won the fight, and the judges declared it a Draw.

    Eubank got lucky against Benn in their rematch, but was unlucky to lose a close one in the first Collins fight.
