    There are a couple of fights from wich you'd think the losing fighter can protest the outcome of the fight because of screwups/favoritism you name it.
    Clear examples are lowblow KO's, fast/skipping counts that seem to be popular these days, failed drug tests etc.
    Less clear examples are if the organisation's rules aren't followed, wich would change the fight's outcome if they were. Examples are 20 count if out
    of the ring, only having to start rising inside 10 when KD in the final 10 seconds, mandatory point deductions at some events, only referee can stop
    the fight and some instant disqualification rules. I won't go into examples because it has proven to open up a huge can of worms around here.

    Strange thing is that in some clear cases the outcome isn't changed at all, while every single sane person would overrule the original verdict.

    Examples
    Anthony Dirrell lowblow KO2 Kevin Engel
    Guillermo Jones juiced up KO11 Denis Lebedev

    do you have more very clear examples in wich the verdict should have been overruled, or special alphabet organisation rules that can and maybe did change the outcomes of some fights?

    Mayweather - Judah

    After the low blow, Mayweathers corner was coming into the ring. Thats a DQ, according to the rules.

    I wouldn't be surprised if that was staged.
