    BB I think you are way off-base here. DLH-Mosely was given to Mosely, and a lot of people ***** because they think DLH won. Geoge Foreman-Axel Schultz was another example where people wanted Foreman stripped because many thought Schultz won. Let's not forget the Berto-Collazo fight. Shall I go on?

    Im just giving my opinion. I also didnt think DLH-Mosely was a robbery and plenty of fans and media agreed with me. Foreman-Schulz was a friggin robbery. How many rounds could anyone give Foreman, he lost almost every round against a fighter that Bob Arum admitted paying the IBF $200,000 just to get ranked you think he didnt spread a little more money among officials to protect Foreman once the fight was on???

    Benny Blanco is a painfully biased poster.

    I think Whitaker/Ramirez I was a worse robbery than Whitaker/Chavez.

    Do you just post on a thread thinking what you're gonna say is very unique without reading the rest of the posts? Or is rephrasing just one of your hobbies?

    What was it about Whitaker's style which made him so Judge unfriendly? Showboating? holding? dissrespecting his opponents? Whatever it was Two or more sets of judges have unexplainly ruled against him. IMO more than the usual fighter.

    In recent years, that seems to be Fres Oquendo's lot in life.

    All of that. And also the fact that he was often coming up against Sulaiman and King connected fighters.

    If he lost two more rounds against Azumah Nelson (that is 3 or 4 all up in reality) he probably would have been shafted there too.
