    the only one i can think of to match it is malignaggi-diaz but at least diaz won a few rounds

    truly astounding.lara CLEARLY won and there is barely a case to give williams more than 2 rounds

    worst i can remember

    Martinez-Cintron was a worse robbery, I cant see how Cintron could have been given more than 2 or 3 rounds, And they managed to rob Sergio of a ko aswell:patsch I mean how the **** do you manage to do that.

    Yeah, with Cintron Martinez not only was robbed of a clear decision - maybe not as clear as Lara's - but Kermit was COUNTED OUT, then the corner stepped in which is DQ, then Martinez beat his ass and still got a draw... that's 3 robberies one night, I can't name anything worse than that.

    This is the right answer....Martinez literally had to score a Knockout to get a draw.

    Shumenov-Campillo II and Martinez-Cintron were disgraceful. I think this is in the same category though - awful decision.

    McDermott-Fury I wasn't high-profile but that was just as bad.

    Let us not forget Bute - Andrade 1.

    The ref's refusal to start the count (or simply end the fight on a TKO as he should have) was so clearly criminal, I'm surprised Andrade didn't sue him in civil court.

    Yeah Cintron/Martinez probably takes it over this one.

    But besides that I can't think of a decision this bad since Lewis/Holyfield.

    I felt genuinely offended.

    I'm not sure this was High profile considering it looked like it was held in a high school auditorium. But Martinez-Cintron is much much worse.
