    Holyfield-Valuev. If I remember correctly, I had Valuev winning 3 rounds, Holyfield 6 rounds and 3 rounds were even (I was undecided). If you give these rounds to Valuev it can be a draw. I dont know how 2 judges scored it to Valuev.

    :lol: Thats when you know you have been robbed, when Pacheco cant ride the balls of a Don King fighter because he knows he lost.

    Lewis - Holyfield for me was a heartbreaker. I had always rated Lewis above every other heavyweight around during the 90's and after losing to McCall to see him get frozen out and to have gradually force his way back to get a title shot only to be robbed in the biggest fight of his career was crushing.

    Another was Brodie - Jorrin. I loved Michael Brodie's exciting style and had followed his career since his war with Neil Swain (Check this fight out if you have never seen it). To see him get his shot and to be robbed by a fraud like Jorrin was a disgrace, really pissed me off. Jorrin barely threw a punch the whole fight, he did nothing but run and pot shot and somehow got the decision. Jorrin went on to win 2 further controversial decisons before being KO'ed in 1 by Oscar Larios who had been robbed in their first fight. Jorrin was either the luckiest fighter ever or had Sven Otkke's management team.

    I partied with Willie Jorrin once thought he was a pretty cool guy. Didnt see the fight but he told me he did enough in the end to get the nod, didnt he drop Brodie a couple times? I though Jorrin was a talented boxer. I do agree that Larios edged out there first fight.

    Yep Jorrin dropped him in the tenth. But I had Brodie winning the fight comfortably. Jorrin could move and box but always had a very low workrate and against a pressure fighter like Brodie was simply out worked. He was outworked and outlanded consistantly during the whole fight.

    Morales-Diaz wasnt a robbery because it was a close fight but I had Morales winning & its just typical that a legend that gave everything he had inside the ring was prevented from walking away Mexico`s first 4 weight champion, the usual bull****.

    Tito and Morales are my favourite fighters ever and fortunately they haven't been on the wrong end of any robberies. I thought Erik beat MAB in their second fight and he deserved the nod against Diaz but they were close fights, not robberies. The Diaz decision was heartbreaking though because a victory in that fight would have been a wonderful endto his career

    In a similar vein, I had JMM beating Pac in their second fight and Raffy beating Izzy in their third fight. Neither decision was a robbery (especially Raffy-Izzy where some of the rounds were very subjective) but to see two of my favourites fight so well only to lose, was very hard to take.

    Sweet Pea vs Chavez was closer than people say. Chavez lost but the Sweet Pea fought a very dirty fight.

    I think DLH schooled him and did enough to win over Tito. He did ''fight'' scared though and I can understand people saying he deserved to lose. Hell, that was not fighting.
    The judges' scorecards obviously made no sense and were scandalous.

    Taylor deserved his win over Chavez.
    I hate the ending to that fight more than anything.
