When everybody else called robbery...

I thought Holy won...










.... one round.





Maybe two.




Worst decision that I ever personally witnessed.


Martinez/CIntron might have been even worse since Sergio KO'd the dude, then outpointed him.




And came away with a draw.

 

i couldn't disagree more. worst decision i've ever seen.

 

Then I suggest you watch a bit more boxing...

Start with:

Whitaker/RamirezI

Everett/Escalera

Chavez/Whitaker

Foreman/Schultz

Foreman/Briggs

Nelson/LeijaI

I accept judging is subjective, but I think a big majority of people would suggest, the fights listed were at least equal (many far worse) than Lewis/HolyfieldI.

 

Yeah, seeing as fighters have LOST fights where they should have been awarded every round clearly, I can't see how Lewis getting a DRAW can seriously be considered the worst decision ever, and find it hard to believe it's the worst some people here have ever seen.
I thought he won 8 or 9 rounds, and he ended up with a draw. Bad decision, yes. Worst in the annals of boxing history ? Nowhere near.

 

the ist azumah nelson jeff fenech fight was a robbery i thought fenech won easily even though in the rematch nelson hammered him .

 

I had Huck up by one point. Thought Lebedev was the better man in the ring though.

Most fights of Ottke were people screm robbery - not Reid even so this wasn´t a robbery but "just" a bribed or something ref. But that´s because most people don´t understand what happened in Ottke fights. He foguht, won rounds, his corner got the scorecards of the judges every round (illegal and a huge low blow for the sport IMO) and when Ottke had 7-8 rounds in the bag he would stop doing anything. His trainer even advised him to just do as if he was punching. So, his opponents swept the last 4-5 rounds in nearly every fight, making those fights closer than they should have been. Of course people will scream robbery when a fighter is winning the last 4-5 rounds. But everytime I score those fight I come up with 7-5 or 8-4 for Ottke, best I could give, Brewer in the first fight, was a draw.
And I hate that guy. He more or less single handily destroyed Germany´s reputation in boxing. And he just is a ****. The way he acted in the Reid fight, in post-fight interviews and other interviews. You just can´t like that guy.
There were many shady things going on around some of his fights but I don´t think even one was a robbery.

 

I agree the reid - ottke can't be considered a robbery in a scoring sense because he actually did get deducted and the knockdown wasn't scored. As bull**** as that was, it weren't the judges.

 

Yeah, I was OK with that decision. Forrest over Quartey is another hotly disputed decision that didn't strike me as being highway robbery, either.

 

A draw was actually a pretty decent decision in that fight, imo.

 

It's an awful decision. But probably not as rank as Whitaker/Ramierez 1

 

It kind of gets lost under the other draw on the bill.

I thought Nelson pretty much wiped the board with the youngster. But then I never really understood the fuss with Nelson/FenechI, Nelson fought brilliantly with his back to the ropes.

 

Don't get me wrong I have it very close and watched it a good few times. I meant to say it would have been a worse decision if Graham got it than vice versa

 

Initially it was ruled as a Nelson win before it was changed to a draw. Wouldn't have given Leija the nod, but I think Jesse James was competitive throughout, and fought make a draw an acceptable outcome, all things considered.
