Has a fighter ever admitted he lost a fight he won?

korean guy at the olympics against jones

 

Best example.

Leonard admitted he lost over a decade after the fact. Woodhall admitted he lost in the post fight interview. Classy as ****.

 

Read the post properly it says Prescott not petterson and how could he not give props he got knocked the **** out!!! he was so knocked out he slept then woke before he hit the canvas!!!:scaredas::yep:admin:bbb

 

You beat me to it...

 

Oh dear :-(

 

Peterson won a close one, and will win much more clear next time around. :deal

 

taylor/wright...i know was a draw but taylor was pretty classy about it during the post fight interview (pretty sure wright walked out of the ring disgusted). taylor more or less said the fight was wright's if he woulda just came and took it instead of backing off. seemed to be hinting that winky kinda gave that one away.

 

You taking the ****.

 

joe louis to walcott

 

idk why Taylor was like that. The fight was really close

 

I think that's a bit different than admitting you have lost. They are times in the fight when the corner man tells the fighter he is losing to get him to pick up the pace, I'm pretty sure that is was happened with Enzo in the Hopkins fight.

 

It's already been said but SRL said Tommy should have got the nod in they're second fight.

Infact he said it again just a few weeks ago on ringside.

 

Oscar vs Sturm

Immediately after the fight, Oscar wasn't celebrating like some kind of ******* who knows he just received a gift by saying he "clearly won", or by "throwing his arms up in excitement". He picked his belt up, raised his arm in shame, and sadly paraded around the ring.

I think he might have even admited later that he felt he lost.

 

Does anyone have a video of Richie Woodhall admitting defeat BTW?

 

First one that came to my mind.
