What's the worst fight you've ever seen?

reid vs Otke

Absolutely shocking. Otke telling the ref to deduct points from reid, because reid puched him in the face. It is called boxing. Do not watch the fight you will not watching boxing for six months it really is that bad. Otke is the worst thing in boxing over the past thirty years. In europe fighters generally are awarded points a bit like the amateurs, for accuracy and skill rather than power shots. which is why you americans slate european decisions. I from the uk, we are a bit of a half way house between american scoring and european.

back to otke, even using a european scoring he lost three fights. the reid one was special simply because otke instructed the ref on what todo throught the whole fighter. So hand on heart i can honestly say otke was a cheat, not the judges giving him undeserved decision but an outright cheat. Ever seen the first lennox holyfield fight, well watch reid vs otke. Please remove any objects you can throw at your tv it is that bad.

 

The worst thing about Reid vs Ottke is that you still see the referee officiating high profile fights regularly. His scorecard for Kessler-Froch was terrible, not necessarily the margin (117-111 for Kessler) but how the rounds were scored. The man is clearly inept as both a judge and referee, but manages to keep his job for some reason.

 

You can hear the crowd laughing in the background at Marshall's antics:

Ali - Liston 2.
My only word to describe this fight is "heh?"

 

Witherspoon,Page,Tubbs wasted heavyweight talent with non efforts and lean fest of the 80's almost made want to forget about my favorite sport...Bad era for Heavys

 

Fenech vs Nelson III

 

Yep, mine too. Can't believe he had the temerity to have "the entertainer" as his nickname :shock:

WALDO V Iggy comes a close second though, it was made a million times worse by all the ******ed nut-hugging on here after the fight by the Klit-ites claiming it was a masterful performance atsch

 

Another vote for Nelson-De Leon. Mind bogglingly bad.

 

lol wtf? How was that guy counted out at the end? He got KO'd off a low blow?

 

yes the Gainer and Norwood fight is a strange one. he got counted out by a low blow?

 

Ali -Bugner

 

Marquez-Norwood was pretty mind-numbingly boring as well. I believe JMM should have been given the win in that fight, but it would have been better if the fight was just erased from all records and removed from viewers' psyches permanently.

 

Thanks. :good

Not sure if those of you from over the pond will have had the pleasure of British heavyweight showdown Skelton Sprott, if not you can consider yourselves extremely fortunate. If 12 rounds of two out of condition blokes of very immodest talent sounds like your thing you will love every minute, for anyone else this should be avoided like the plague.
