    What's the best examples of this

    In the Leonard V Hagler fight Haglers camp refused the English judge due to the Minter debacle and asked for a Mexican judge instead. The Mexican would ultimately score the fight 10-2 in Leonard's favour. When asked the English judge said he scored the bout 7-5 to Hagler after watching the fight. had they not asked for the change Hagler would have been on the winning side of a SD instead of the losing side.

    Botha vs Grant is a recent example, and in that vein Nate Campbell vs Robbie Pedan

    The guy probably lied just to say "fvck you."

    Anyway Ali taunting Frazier was a terrible idea.

    Hagler also fought orthodox the first few rounds in the Leonard fight as he thought Leonard would be preparing for Southpaws, little did he know that Leonard still hadn't got to grips with his Southpaw sparring partners a week before the fight.

    Trying to be too smart.

    I really believe Haye talking SO much trash before the Wlad fight, that Wlad fought to win, as in.. if a KO comes, then it comes, but the most important thing is to not lose.

    This gave Haye very little chance to capitalize on any of Wlad mistakes... because there were so few.
