    Rounds 1-3: Gatti
    Round 4: Ward 10-8 (point deduction aside, it was a close round)
    Round 5: Ward
    Rounds 6-7: Gatti
    Round 8: Ward
    Round 9: Ward 10-8
    Round 10: Gatti

    94-94

    Bowe-Holyfield and Leonard-Hagler are really bad...

    But they pale in comparison to Larry Holmes vs. Spinx. It was a robbery with a clear motivation - to keep Holmes from getting Rocky Marciano's record.

    Bowe-Holyfield 2 and Leonard-Hagler were close fights that could've gone either way.

    Spinks-Holmes 1? That decision was fine.

    The rematch was a robbery. Holmes won 9 rounds.

    But on the subject of Holmes, here's another fight that fights the subject. Holmes-Witherspoon.

    This fight isn't exactly the most entertaining fight, but it really is the biggest robbery I've ever seen

    Emanuel Augustus vs. Courtney Burton.

    I had every round for Augustus and the decision went to Burton. I just remember that it was a FNF fight so Teddy Atlas just got into the ring and started yelling at the ref and judges.
