    I was wondering has a fighter ever admitted that they believe that they lost a fight that they won?

    Off the top of my head, the closest I can remember is Ray Leonard said Tommy beat him in the second fight that was scored a draw. If I'm not mistaken it was filmed on ESPN.

    Edit: Sonuvabitch, Dan! :fire

    Not a fighter, but a trainer (Anne Wolfe) admitted the guy was winning at the time of the bull**** stoppage that Kirkland got- I forget who it was against

    I can't tihnk of any in boxing, but in MMA, Rampage has admitted to "getting his ass kicked' quite a few times: wins over Rua, and Machida, he said "I got my ass whopped. . . " Basically saying he lost.

    LOL. . Amir Khan won 8 rounds to 4. . . MAYBE, if you're generous, 7 rounds to 5. . . No way Peterson won 6 rounds of that fight. . . It doesn't matter, we're about a month away from seeing Khan get his revenge, and htis time, get a just decision in Vegas.
