    Sounds exactly like more recent fighter Rocky Martinez.

    One of the most overblown "robberies" of all time. We discussed this fight last year and some of us who'd seen it more recently thought that it could have gone either way or even scored it for Pintor.

    Agreed. To be frank I thought that Zarate won, I have no beef with that argument. It is a bit silly to single that one out as one of the all-time worst though. A close enough fight to be seen from more than one side surely.

    Foreman-Schulz was no robbery. It was a 1-point fight either way. It just happened to go Foreman's way. As for Foreman-Briggs...now THAT was an out-an-out robbery of the highest order. Not just that Briggs 'won,' rather the margin of victory that 2 of the judges had him up by...117-113, and 116-112.
