    Three fights come to mind in the lesser known category

    1) Dwight Qawi vs. Ossie Ocasio - Ocasio won but I scored it something like 10-0 for Qawi

    2)The first Mustafa Hamsho-Curtis Parker fight - Hamsho won a split, I had it 7-3 Parker just like the dissenting judge. I didn't have a problem with the rematch, Hamsho won rightly, but that doesn't annul the first fight.

    3)Charlie 'White Lightning' Brown vs. Frank 'Rootin'-Tootin' Newton - Brown was really being pushed by the networks towards a title shot. He had already received a gift against Louie Burke but the Newton fight was out and out robbery.

    Tunney-Greb 2 (too many out there still think that Tunney dominated their subsequent bouts after losing the first)

    Urango-Ben Rabah was the first that came to mind. As bad as Rios-Abril imo. One of the most matter of fact, in your face robberies of the last decade.

    * JC Candelo clearly outclassed Teddy Reid. Reid lost almost every round and had one or two points deducted for assorted fouls but he still scraped a bogus draw.

    * Love him or hate him (I hate him) Cory Spinks was robbed against Verno Philips.

    * Ali Funeka was robbed as blatantly as Abril was against Rios when he had to settle for a bull**** draw against Joan Guzman.

    * Kali Meehan was robbed against Lamon Brewster.

    While many people disagree, I thought Holyfield was robbed against Moorer in their first fight.

    Just saw that yesterday. I had it 6-4 for Marvin, but could see it argued the other way. It wasn't that egregious a decision, really. Marvin wasn't all that effective that night.

    Ray Collins was robbed against Yori Boy Campos. And Engels Pedroza was robbed against Wlberforce Kiggundu. I was at both of those fights and I don't think you can get lesser known than that.:yep
