    I was studying Sandy Saddler's resume and I noticed that in his 3rd fight against Paddy DeMarco there was a strong disagreement between the judges. Ref and the 1st judge scored it in favor of Demarco 8-1-1 and 6-4 respectively, whereas the 2nd judge had it 6-3-1 in favor of Saddler.

    Other fights that come to mind:

    Pintor-Zarate

    Judge: Art Lurie 143-142
    Judge: Harold Buck 143-142
    Judge: Bob Martin 133-145 (scartissue explained to me that Martin scored the fight using a 5-point system and when informed about his mistake proceeded to double all scores :duh)

    Golovkin-Alvarez 1 - infamous Adelaide Byrd scorecard

    I wouldn't be surprised if the judge put their scores in the wrong column :lol: Here is my own score for reference:
