    It's scary how these *******s are so delusional they have actually convinced themselves that Manny won.

    I was thinking about the Lewis Holyfield robbery. Where there Holytards running around claiming he was the rightful victor?

    Anyone remember?

    Im a long time Marquez fan, I scored it a draw and can see a narrow victory for either fighter bein argued.

    These people scoring it a wide win for Marquez and crying robbery are *****s and just plan Pac Haters.

    Marquez was robbed true. But Holyfield vs Lewis is the worst robbery I´ve seen, I mean there is no possible way Holyfiled won the fight. You could argue Pac won against Marquez if you give him ALL close rounds, but as for Lewis vs Holyfield that was horrific.

    Speaking as someone that was both following boxing then and following it on the Net as well...

    Yes, there were Holy fans that claimed that it was a legit draw. Even a small amount that tried to make out he deserved to actually win, although pretty small like I say. Nonetheless, the hardcore support did go through the rounds with a fine-tooth comb trying to justify it. Nothing specific to Holyfield fans, but more specific to that real hardcore element top-level fighters can get.

    I also remember, for one, Ron Borges saying it was a "razor-thin 115-114 decision" for Lewis, and Glyn Leach of Boxing Monthly making out Lewis didn't deserve to win because he didn't knock Holy out. Or, for Lewis-Holyfield II, Doug Krikorian of the Long Beach Press-Telegram giving it 117-114 to Holyfield (Lewis only winning three rounds).

    You've really got to wonder about the quality of boxing journalism some times.
