    One I failed to mention is the Chavez Whitaker draw, I think they ruled it a draw because even the corrupt judges would have been too embarrassed to give Chavez the win.

    I never saw anyone score Lara—Williams for Williams.

    I can’t think of anyone who thought Canelo won the first GGG fight or the Lara fight,

    I thought he beat Lara and edged GGG in fight 1, but the draw was fair. Lots of people think he beat Lara.

    I actually think it was closer than most; and I know of at least one poster scored it for Bradley on the RBR for this fight.

    Murata-N'dam 1's outcome was universally derided.

    Seamus used to try to defend that one for some unknown reason.

    Draws are usually somewhat defensible.
    If a fight goes the full distance and nobody was completely battered, it can usually be argued that a draw was not an outright robbery.
    Whitaker-Chavez, Lewis-Holyfield 1, Fury-Wilder 1, Golovkin-Alvarez 1 .... I would say they were robberies, but not as terrible as sometimes made out. A draw isn't as bad as a loss.

    Mosley over Sergio Mora. Shane didn't seem that bothered post fight.

    Erislandy Lara vs Paul Williams. You really can't find one person that thinks Williams won that.
