Did anybody justify Lewis/Holyfield, and Whitaker/Chavez?

There have been later discussions on here in wich some fans actually tried to justify the scores. Even earlier big time robberies have their supporters here. :verysad

 

Lewis Holyfield i remember well.

That caused a massive storm as well just like Brad-Pac, I can't remember any sports writers or "experts" who picked Holyfield, it was universally agreed that Lewis won.

Everyone just thought don king had fixed it (which he probably did)

 

Anyone who tries to justify Lewis/Holyfield doesn't deserve oxygen.

 

Well theres always biased fans who think the decisions were fair.

I bet theres a lot of mexican fans who think that decision was fair.

But most thought that both decisions were awful.

 

Coma? Hooked up on life support?

 

:deal

 

Not for Lewis-Holy I. Like you I was a kid for Whitaker-Chavez more interested in Gi Joe than boxing

Pac-Bradley I think will fall into the same category as those.

The outcry has been the biggest I remember since Lewis-Holy for a big fight robbery. Even bigger than Tito-De La Hoya, many back then thought Oscar got what he deserved for running those final rounds. There was a big outcry for Pac-JMM III, don't think it was as universal as this one, with major channels and news discussing it

It's one of those robberies so absurd and comical there won't be any real debates on who won, every boxing fan knowing who was behind it, it was that conspicuous.

 

In this age we live in, we're people can go online and read articles, forums etc from years ago within a matter of minutes it will probably always get remembered as a robbery i should think

 

If i remember correctly, after DLH-Tito, didn't DLH get a lot of **** from people for basically running for the last few rounds?

 

Teddy Atlas exemplified the attitude of many at the time when he said, to the effect, "Oscar won, but he lost his right to complain by the way he ran the last four rounds"
