Reminds me of Mares vs Agbeko 1, and also Mares vs Moreno. Agbeko 1 was really close on the cards, Mares got a knockdown off of a low blow, and generally landed a ridiculous amount of low blows that clearly changed the flow of the fight. In a fair world this fight could have easily ended up as an Agbeko W. Moreno was a similar story, and with even all of the BS that went in there I remember scoring it for Moreno. But he never stood a chance on the cards.
Holyfield vs Lewis 1. I watched it one time and I'm never f'ing watching it again because it is the manifitation of robbery
The attempted robbery in Usyk-Joshua II is still shocking. One judge had that domination 115-113 for Joshua. Disgusting.
It wasnt a particularly hard fight to judge. If youre really pro Ward you could go 6-6, but there was a ****ing KD...ridiculous.
A few that spring to mind are Smith v Ryder, Cully v Mould, Hughes v Kambosos and Catterall v Taylor. The most blatant piece of rigged scoring I’ve ever seen though was the 3 identical 115-113 cards in the Canelo v Bivol fight. Yeah, the right guy got it, but there was more justification in being 12-0 than 7-5.
Gervonta Davis vs. Lamont Roach - Roach was robbed of a knockdown (I don't give a **** if it was just because of hair grease getting in his eye, you take a knee, that's knockdown) and if we're being honest, a career defining win. At least his career got a boost from it anyways, but still. Emanuel Navarrete vs. Charly Suarez - Suarez was robbed of a TKO win, and I'll even argue that he was robbed of a genuine stoppage down the line or a victory on points. Navarrete had hit a wall hard and didn't look like he would recover from it. Suarez got the result overturned and is getting a second crack at Navarrete with another belt on the line, but still, the whole thing was egregious. Frankly, the worst part about this was how just moments after the cut was determined to be from a headbutt and the fight went to a technical decision, the angle proving it was from a punch and not a headbutt showed up. That's not even mentioning how Navarrete's team seemed to be miracle workers on the cut for a couple of rounds, then suddenly seem to know nothing about mending and send their guy out bleeding everywhere once they hear that the fight will go to a decision if it can't continue. There's tons more but those are two recentish ones that I felt were particularly scummy.
I've seen a lot of robbery, but never one like Martinez-Cintron, because it wasn't a robbery, it was two! First, a legitimate punch that had sent Cintron to his knees for a count of 10 was passed off as a headbutt. But that wasn't enough, Martinez shouldn't have won that night, so at the end of the fight, which Martinez had clearly won, a draw was given. Disgusting, in comparison, Lewis-Holyfield I and Whitaker-Chavez were nothing, how disgusting!
Juan Coggi-Eder Gonzalez 1 This content is protected https://boxrec.com/wiki/index.php/Juan_Martín_Coggi_vs._Eder_González
There’s a lot to pick from in boxing’s long history. Jeff Fenech vs Azumah Nelson 1 was definitely one of the worst ones that I’ve ever seen. I mean, you know it’s got to be historically bad if the World Boxing Council retroactively awarded him the super-featherweight belt thirty years later. Organizations rarely if ever willingly admit fault to anything.
Mayweather and Jones in the olympics were both pretty atrocious. Mayweather couldn't even say more than half a line during the interview and walked away crying his eyes out. Could say both of these incidents pushed them to a higher level of greatness to right that wrong.
