    I’m not talking about decisions/robberies, I’m thinking about individual scorecards.

    I have a few in mind, but maybe the hardcore boxing fans who are following the sport for decades can tell more.

    Abner Mares vs Anselmo Moreno

    Judge James Jen Kin should have been lynched for his 120-106 scorecard in favor of Mares.

    There have been criminal amateur scores over the years.

    I'm not saying these are the worst but these are the ones that have stuck in my mind..


    Richar Abril getting robbed against Brandon Rios

    Robin Reid being told not to hit Sven Ottke by the referee was just incredible, he was robbed while the fight was actually happening.

    John McDermott clearly beat Tyson Fury, wasn't even close in my opinion but McDermott was stiffed by Terry O'Connor.

    Lewis Vs Holyfield I, Lewis clearly won, they scored it a draw.

    Lara Vs Williams, just disgusting scores. Lara won comfortably but got robbed.

    It was so bad that the judges were actually suspended.
    Donald Givens didn't judge a fight for 4 years, Hilton Whitaker Jr for 13 months and Al Bennett also for 13 months.

    The Alvarez fight was close as hell.
    Nothing wrong with the 115-113 either way cards. But the 117-111 from Levi Martinez was BS.

    The Hurd fight was also a close one. I don't recall anyone really calling it a robbery.

    Carlos Molina got robbed blind tho :eusa_whistle:

    Mayweather Canelo draw card, she should have been kicked out of the sport for that. Disgusting and transparent corruption.

    114-113 Casamayor Santa Cruz.

    Santa Cruz dropped him and legitimately won at least nine rounds unquestionably. Whilst stats don't tell the full story he outlanded him with jabs and landed 192 to 79 power shots and still lost.

    Without doubt the most farcical decision I've ever seen. Made Lewis Holyfield look a nailed on draw.

    Haskins vs burnett

    Judge gets the two fighters mixed up, gives haskins every round and 2 knockdowns I think
