    Ok, folks. Whats the worst scorecards you have ever seen by individual judges? You might well disagree or agree with the decision but one judge had the fight too wide for the winner or maybe he somehow managed to score the fight for the eventual loser.

    Not the worst decisions in history. Eg, Whitaker-Chavez, and you thought Whitaker won.


    Here are three that came to mind.


    Hagler-Leonard, Jose Juan Guerra 118-110 for Leonard. I scored the fight for Leonard 115-113.

    Pacquaio-Marquez I, John Stewart 115-110 for Pacquaio. I scored the fight for Marquez by 2-3 points.

    Guzman-Barrios, Bill Graham 114-113 for Barrios. Can't mind my exact score. However, Barrios won about 4 rounds at best. No way did he win the fight, even by a point.

    Mijares/Navarro- One of the judges scored it 120-108 for Navarro, who won maybe 3 rounds. By far the worst. That judge absolutely MUST be gotten rid of.

    The guy who had Tyson in front against Douglas. He must have been in King's pocket, because such scoring is just not possible otherwise.

    all 3 judges who gave danny williams the win over john mcdermott that was really bad judging

    i wouold say though the worst desicions are normally made by a referee who has to judge as well

    judges at mayweather-de la hoya it was never that close

    I just assumed that the announcer or the judge had made a mistake and announced the wrong name, because in my eyes it was virtually a shut out to Mijares.

    Chuck Giampa had Chavez ahead by a point after 11 rounds against Taylor. Simply not arguable IMO. Im pretty sure the other two judges had Chavez winning between 1-3 rounds. Chavez is doing very well to even be remotely considered to have won 4 of the 11 completed rounds. Winning the fight by a point? Ridiculous.

    Taylor outworked and outscored Chavez thoroughly for 9 rounds, easily. Defense and ring generalship, he was ahead in those aspects of scoring as well as the most improrant area, clean punching. Flurries or not, the work he was doing far exceeded Chavez's.

    One judge in the Belcastro/HardyI scored 10 of 12 rounds even, giving the other two to Belcastro....

    Omar Minton figured Benn beat Malinga in their rematch....

    Well the robbery cards would be the worst but:

    Marquez-Barrera - Doug Tucker 118-109 for Marquez, I had it to Barrera just, either way is fine, but Barrera only winning 2 rounds is a joke

    Lionel rose - Alan rudkin
    Most people had it a about even going in to the last round including the Australian commentary team.
    With 3 Australian judges Rose won a split decision, Ray Mitchell scoring a shutout 75 - 60 for Rose.

    The judge who had the FOTC scored 11 rounds Frazier to Ali's 4.

    Chuck Hassett's 118-111 card for Holmes over Witherspoon. That fight was extremely close, 9-2-1 is insane. Frank Brunette and Jerry Roth having Spinks winning the 2nd bout with Holmes was bad. Brunette gave Spinks 9 rounds.

    Ken Morita had Tyson beating Douglas after 9 rounds. He also had De La Hoya beating Quartey by 2 points....going INTO the 12th.

    Jo Jo Guerra's 118-110 Leonard over Hagler.

    Hal Miller having Duran losing to Benitez by just one point, 143-142. Ove Ovesen and Yusaku Yoshida having Duran losing to Hagler by one point was pretty bad too.

    Eugenia Williams having Holyfield beating Lewis 115-113 in the first fight. Larry O'Connell's 115-115 card wasn't much better.

    Miguel Donate's 116-112 card in favor of Nelson over Fenech in the first fight.

    Newton Campos's 118-113 card for Ramirez over Whitaker in fight #1.

    Good call. I wonder what his main points on scoring were for that fight or others for that matter. Lying against the ropes taking punches, not punching, covering up, and ineffective aggressivness.
