    I can't reveal reasons for asking but believe me the reasons are noble and I plan to do something with the fights that you've listed!

    Any fight with the exception of Canelo v GGG 2

    Wouldn't call it controversially close but some people seem to think it was! Cheers!

    I scored it 7-5 for JMM but he really shot himself in the foot taking off the heat in the last two rounds.

    HBO had Pacquiao way ahead and that was a bit unreasonable because Marquez was connecting with the better shots .

    Bradley Pac (first fight, I presume) was controversial but IMO, not really close. Scoring generously for Tim, 8-4 Pac.

    Whitaker vs De La Hoya
    Pains to say, but I have Oscar narrowly winning it even though I thought Pernell showed he was the much better fighter that night. One of those weird cases in which the better boxer & fighter didn't win, but rightly so (even though the cards were bs). He just fooled around too much to win on my cards but nonetheless still showed he was a league ahead.

    Ward vs Kovalev I
    Had it a clear win for Kovalev but Ward made a great comeback in the second half of the fight with great adjustments definitely worth a rematch
