Absolute bull****. Eubank beat Rocciggiani fair and square. If a foreign fighter got a decision against a German fighter in Germany in the 1990s you can be damn sure the foreign fighter was a clear winner because Germany at that time was a bottomless pit of horrendous officiating.
To be honest I always thought De La Hoya outboxed Tito for what the first 6/7 rounds EASILY. Then Tito had a late surge and "won" the fight.
I'm giving you guys a break from trolling here for a minute to suggest the Vincente Rondon Vs. Jimmy Dupree 175 title fight where Dupree cleaned Rondon's clock early and then slowly wound down into an exhausted mess by round five and stopped in six. Later a nurse who travelled to Caracas with Dupree detailed symptoms that she believed showed he had been drugged and was very professionally convincing. Made Ring Magazine at the time. Forgotten now.
I could show you many links that show no hint of controversy, but one thing we all have learned on here is that you’ll never concede that you’re wrong.
Dupree just punched himself out swinging for the fences and became exhausted. He was throwing haymakers the entire fight trying to score a KO and exhausted himself.
You have proven there are some rumours about it!?! So, was there outrage or was it just a rumour!?? As for you accusing someone of bias and being a troll, well what can I say.
Really... There's been quiet a few and my opinion is not going to be popular with some... One that comes to my mind is the Hagler vs Leonard. Had Hagler attack Leonard the way he viciously did against Hearns, did Leonard had a chance ? He would have end up in the hospital or with brain damage. Leonard vs Benitez... Very close fight in times when a challenger really had to take the tittle from the champions, meaning judges would not give you the belt unless challengers won decisively.. Benitez barely bleeding from the forehead and I mean barely bleeding, with I think 17 seconds to end the 15th and final round, referee stops the fight... There was never a rematch.. Canelo Alvarez until time came to fight triple G, had no stamina at all.. He just couldn't fight 3 minutes in a round because he would run out of air, then he fights Golavkin and moves for all 12 rounds easily.. ( do you smell steroids ). A weight catch was implemented in boxing so two good fighters from two different weight class could meet without the bigger guy having so much size adavantage.. But NONE this would not apply for tittle fights.. Pacquiao fights old Coto after he gets kncockout by Margarito for the welterweight title and Coto had to weight in below the 147... Old DeLahoya comes back years after retirement and fighting as a middleweight to fight Pacquiao and also has to weight below the 147... Margarito moves up to the 154 ( Jr. Middleweight ) fights Pacquiao for the " vacant " Jr. Middlewight title and is forced to go down below the 154.... Who's to blame ??? $$$$$$$$
The thread title says “highly controversial fights that are forgotten” It simply wasn’t highly controversial, a few people here and there thinking Rocchigiani should have got the verdict doesn’t make it thus. I repeat there was no mass outrage at the decision.
Well I’ll do my best to decipher that gibberish but basically as usual you’re full of ****. You still insist that the dissatisfaction at the decision was merely “rumours” which proves my point. There was no widespread outrage in the boxing world regarding the decision. End of.
