    Haven't seen the Harada match but thought he just came up short against Rose. Close fight, he just wouldn't be deterred.

    Lewis clearly won the first match and the hell raised. In the second the judges rewarded Lewis with a solid win because not to give rise to new controversies. Fight 2 was a perfect draw.

    Not robberies but close, excellent fights. He felt behind against Harada but towards the middle to the end got the better of a lot of it. A close but clear win for Harada. The Rose fight was closer. Razor thin either way type of fight.

    Foreman v Briggs ( Foreman won?)
    —No robbery.
    Fury v Wilder I (Fury won?)
    —No robbery. Wilder has a better case for being robbed given that the fight wasn’t stopped.
    Holyfield v Lewis I ( Lewis won?)
    —Bad robbery.
    Holyfield v Lewis II (Holyfied won?)
    —Most had Lewis winning.
    Holyfield v Valuev ( Holyfield won?)
    —Ringside observers favored Valuev
    Holyfield v Kevin Berry at the Olympics 1984 ( Holyfield unfairly disqualified?)
    —Not sure of 1984 am threshold for DQ, but if Holyfield didn’t deserve a DQ there, he did at some other point in his career...and a PED suspension.

    Speaking of the Olympics:

    Bowe-Lewis

    Bowe dominated Lewis in round one. In the second, Bowe got caught with a good shot, takes a standing eight, is bouncing up and down, clear eyed, ready to fight. He takes another heavy shot, the ref pulls him out, as he's bouncing up and down, clear eyed and ready to fight, his hands are even waving in the air. No staggering, no hesitation, obviously ready to get back to fighting. The ref stops the fight. The ring announcers are both stunned and outraged at the ref, who they have rightfully been heavily criticizing the whole fight.

    Robbery.

    I've been trying to find footage of this one for a long time and fortunately last month it was posted to YouTube.

    Never seen the fight but by all accounts Sven Ottke v Robin Reid is the daddy of them all.
    Apart from ignoring the fact Reid floored Ottke ruling it a slip, apparently the referee warned Reid several times for actually hitting Ottke!

    Well, I’ve never seen the fight, I will have to look it up.
    However consensus seems to be that it was one of the worst robberies ever.

    Well having watched Reid v Ottke now, what a scandalous display of refereeing that was.
    The 6th round topped it off.
    Reid drops Ottke with a left hook, the referee doesn’t count and declares it a slip, then a few seconds later after Ottke for the umpteenth time bores in with his head and Reid ducks low to avoid it, he deducts a point from Reid for use of the head!
    So a round that should have been 10-8 to Reid probably ended up 10-9 to Ottke!
    I never had Ottke winning one of the first 8 rounds.
