    What are some boxing fights where your opinion on the winner was vastly opposed by the majority of the boxing fanbase and community? Yet despite being outnumbered in your view, you’re adamant in your opinion being the correct one.

    A large majority of people thought that Bivol was robbed in the fight against Beterbiev. I myself supported Bivol and thought he was robbed only because it was 5:00am where I was (on holiday) and I wasn't bothered to watch a majority of the fight. However I recently watched the whole fight and I scored the fight 116-112, the same score judge Pawel Kardyni recorded, ironically what people thought was utter BS! If Bivol took advantage of the openings he made in the first couple of rounds, and if he was more active, he could've won! But we'll see come fight night in February.

    Chris John vs Juan Manuel Marquez,even tho John fought in his home and put his track shoes for round 8-10,it was a close fight where I think John slightly outworked him to a 3 point,close decision,the start of an IBHOF career huh?

    I thought Loma beat Lopez in their fight personally but I can see why most saw it for Lopez.

    I thought Canelo beat GGG in the 2nd fight "mexican style", and I still think he beat him 115-113 today.

    Bit weird scoring giving Beterbiev 8 and 9 and Bivol 6 but fair enough

    It's a recent fight, but I thought that Andy Ruiz beat Miller.
    Also :
    - Holyfield beat John Ruiz the first and third time ;
    - Tua won against Ibeabuchi and deserved the draw vs Rahman the 2nd time around ;
    - Zhang did not beat Hrgović (I had it a draw).

    I scored Tua-Ibeabuchi 118-110 in favour of Ibeabuchi. Tua only won the 5th and 9th round for me, as Ibeabuchi slowed down towards the middle of the fight.

    Ali-Norton III

    Had the fight going down to the last round which Norton gave away by his own admission (though he maintains he didn't/shouldn't have needed that last round).

    Another would be how I scored Pintor vs Davila in favour of Tweety.

    I thought Pintor deservedly beat Zarate. Recently viewed the fight and scored it 143-141 in favour of Pintor.
