    Duran-Barkley is one for me. I was really happy that Duran got the decision, but was shocked when I looked at my scorecard and saw that I had Barkley winning it.


    A more recent one would be Trinidad-De la Hoya. I'm glad that Trinidad was able to get the win because I didn't like Oscar's tactics in the last couple of rounds, but had Oscar winning handily.

    Trinidad- Hoya and Shane-Hoya II, I'm not a Osacar Hater but I knew he won those fights, but were hapy with the outcome.

    From a British point of view Richie Woodhall V Glenn Catley springs to mind, Woodhall even said after the fight that he didn't deserve to retain the title, and full credit to him for that he was a really decent man.

    Oscar V Sturm also springs to mind but Oscar as usual acted like a *****.

    I am never glad if someone officially wins, when they should have lost - even if I "love" the guy.

    That's how I feel too. A recent example would be Kid Diamond vs Miguel Huerta. I had been following Diamond because at that point i thought he might turn out to be something, but that fight left a bad taste in my mouth. To me seeing your guy win when he shouldn't have is worse than seeing your guy get robbed.

    Casa - Santa Cruz, and I feel guilty admitting to it. I have been a Casa fan for a long time and have been hoping he is able to close out his career with a couple of big paydays. I knew a loss would kill his chances for that, and so I was happy he got that decision, even though I felt he had lost.

    I am hoping that Santa Cruz goes on a nice winning streak once he starts fighting again.

    Meehan/Brewster, I thought Brewster lost that fight by a point, but since he was the champion, I feel they made the right choice by giving him the victory, Meehan's next match he was starched by Rahman in a couple rounds, so the right decision was made.

    Toney/Peter, I thought it was a draw personally, but I'm glad it went to Samuel, he proved in there next fight that he was the better man, by outboxing and destroying Toney.
