The first "robbery" you "observed" as a fan

Ahumada--Foster.

 

I was a relative 'novice' viewer back in 2011, but Pacquiao v Marquez III was a controversial decision

 

The one that stands out as the first in my mind was actually Holmes Spinks 2.
But I remember being a young lad reading about the Cooper v Bugner fight some years previously
That was a sore point for many Cooper fan for years.

 

Horrible decision that. One of the worst of the decade.

Hard to pinpoint but the Spinks-Holmes 2 reminds me that it could have been that, I suppose- in terms of a fight where I had one fighter winning and was puzzled to why he didn't get the decision.

 

I disagree with calling any close fight a robbery. Rosario-Ramirez 1 and Holmes-Williams are great examples of this. Arguments can be made either way, so that disqualifies them from any possibility of being robberies in my book.

I'll disagree with Gomez-Lockridge though. That might have been the first one I watched live that caused outrage, and I've scored it since. I don't believe any case can be made for Gomez there, that was home cooking, plain and simple. Hideous decision.

 

Lewis vs Holyfield 1, absolutely disgusting decision.

 

The first fight I remember thinking was a robbery was Pintor - Zarate. Haven't revisited it to see if what i think today.

 

That's a whole different thread, but a very close fight, I thought. Two points in favor of Zarate, which isn't much.

 

Lewis—Holyfield I

 

Robert Shaw was brilliant in that scene.

 

I remember being upset by the pacquiao vs jmm 1 decision thinking juan clearly out boxed pacquiao minus the early danger

the first fight i recall being old enough to really understand and score and feel upset by the decision was probably de la hoya vs mosely 2

 

Golovkin vs Canelo I.

 

Whitaker vs Chavez.

I remember the S.I. cover afterwards just said "ROBBED"
