    Fights such was

    Brad vs PAC 1
    JMm vs PAC
    Tyson vs Douglas
    Hagler vs leanard.
    Augustus vs Burton
    Etc.

    Have been argued and scrutinized. Sure, some decisions are just close and can go neither way. Others are highway robberies

    I know that the Tokyo Douglas fight was was tried to he overturned by failed. I'm sure some questionable decision s have been appealed


    But I can't for the life of me remember any bad decision that was later overturned. I would love if any historians here could provide me with anythbg of the sort or close to the sort. Such as attempts, etc.

    Thanks for the support.I am planning on writing a weekly article for ESB as Ibhave read it since I've been a kid.

    Expect topics that you are out of the ordinary and hopefully interesting.

    Thanks,

    YMS

    From my One Hit Wonder Thread:


    Tommy Molinares
    Former Colombian welterweight feasted on mostly no-hopers, and bottom feeders in his native Colombia. Of Molinares's 25 professional fights, only two have came out of the confines of his home territory. Molinares won a TKO victory over Fernando Martinez 8 months earlier in his only other fight on USA soil. Going into his fight with Marlon Sterling, Molinares was a significant underdog to the WBA Welterweight Champion. The fight ended in controversy, a disputed decision, Sterling leaving on a stretcher, and more questions than answers.

    Moments before or maybe a mere nanosceond after, the bell ended for the Sixth round, Moliares caught Sterling with a right hand that sent the Champion to the canvas. Referee Joe Cortez ruled the punch legal and began a Ten Count. Sterling was counted out and Molinares was the NEW WBA Welterweight Champion, or was he...???

    What transpired afterwards, involving the New Jersey Commission, the WBA and the fighters has been debated by boxing historians. Famed New Jersey Commisioner Larry Hazzard showed his support to Joe Cortez, then after a review of the HBO broadcast, at the request of Ross Greenburg, Hazzard re-examined his position and concluded the punch was infact after the bell had sounded. Hazzard would void the win on Molinares record, as well as Sterling's loss; the official fight was ruled a No Contest. The WBA though allotted the status of Champion to Molinares.

    Molinares went on to have two more fights, both back in Colombia in the pro ranks, subsequentially lossing both by the way of KO before retiring.

    Well, I'm not sure it is to your point, but Julio Cesar Chavez's 12th fight was overturned under shady circumstances.

    Kirk Johnson was knocked out by this guy Mora (don't remember first name but he fought Ibragimov at MSG when the record for fastest KO in MSG occured) the win was protested. Film showed his foot was on Johnsons and it caused the knee injury which lead to the fight ending. it was ruled NC

    The only actual decision I can think of is an early Chavez fight but that's a rumour.

    Loads of ko/nc fights have happened.

    I think the Michalczewski/Rocchigiani result was changed for the first fight
