What was the worst boxing robbery of the 2000's?

Maravilla vs Cintron was litterally what they say about the worst boxing countries... "If you fight in ....... you have to score a knockout to get a draw!"
Issue is, there are so many robberies that it's hard to get a really good list, so it's the big fight or big name fights that stick in memory. But if you regularly watched Friday Night Fights or the Premier Boxing Champions series, you'll know that among the lesser known names clear robberies take place every other week. Almost every time the "opponent" outboxes the featured fighter and doesn't score a KO, he gets robbed blind.

 

Great

This has recovered a rubbish Opening thread into something interesting

At the time Lewis beat Holyfield all ends up winning at least 9 rounds out of 12, with the other 3 either even or for Holy, but it was given as a draw.

Now that was an American robbery, worse than anything I have ever seen in Germany or the UK in terms or pure, cold hard robbery

 

Just going to post this
This fight cost me a fortune even the bookie took notice and commented how I still love boxing I will never know

 

2011...

Wrong decade.

 

Wrong decade.

 

The 2000's is 00 to 09. If thats not what the OP is implying then it should be "biggest robbery of the Current Century"

 

poetic justice in a way though
a fighter who made a living getting rich in Germany by defending a paper strap against b-level fighters, getting stiffed so a big player in world boxing who fought all comers, could legitimize a shot at the true champion in sturm's division!
gotta love the irony

 

I disagree with that one in particular. The British commentary was totally off; they were whining about the ref and didn't understand what was going on. Reid was warned multiple times for pulling down Ottkes head, Brit commentator: "Now he's warning Reid for landing a punch on Ottke! This is a disgrace".

Reid lost the last 2-3 rounds of the fight as Ottke - as so often - nicked the last rounds with his minimal effort strategy. Ugly fight, yes. But not a robbery. Close decision win for Ottke.

 

Mayweather Castillo

 

Literal best example is probably Santa Cruz/Casamayor or Cintron/Martinez, which itself is only matched by that Juan Coggi fight where he was knocked out in his backyard but the ref helped him to his feet and allowed the fight to continue, lol

 

Sturm deserved to fight Hopkins, but who the **** would have cared about that fight?
Good lesson for Sturm as he learn how to buy the judges

 

how did sturm ever deserve to fight Hopkins?
he never fought a top MW in his life!

Hopkins, kelly pavlik, jermain taylor, paul Williams, Sergio Martinez, winky wright - here are some of the big players at MW while sturm was active. they all had a piece of each other to some degree, but how many did felix sturm fight?

zero, nada, zip, none.

sturm was the very definition of a paper champion, and even then he lost to some pretty ordinary fighters.

 

Yeah, his best wins come against Castillejo, Barker, Macklin and Zbik, getting a gift draw against Murray.
Those werent the best middleweights
However he deserved to unificate tittles with Hopkins as he won the ODH fight

 

De la Hoya might win to unificate tittles with Hopkins in a moneymaking fight, so boxing becomes then once again a business rather than a sport

 

Daniel Judah against Glen Johnson.
