    Let's stick to fights where the "right" guy won, if we don't this will turn into a robbery thread.

    One that comes to mind is Ward-Bika. One judge had it a 12-0 shutout and the others I believe had it 11-1. I scored the fight really close and had it 7-5 Ward.

    Ward vs Bika was the first one to come to mind too.

    Abraham vs Smith. Close for AA in reality, Wide on the scorecards

    Abraham a good shout, I had it to Smith just but im not shouting robbery or anything as it was a very close fight, but scorecards were very wide

    There was a fight a couple of years ago. I didn't watch it but it was a split decision and scene said they had it 120-108 to the other guy.

    I think it's rios Abril but not sure

    Abraham/Smith for sure, had it a draw, but can accept Abraham close, but the scorecards were way too wide.

    I know Abril got robbed against Rios, maybe that was it?

    :think Mares-Moreno
    And according to Tony Crebs Daniel Ponce De Leon only won one round against Broner.

    ref missed the knockdown then barrera got 1 or 2 points deducted for punching while marquez was down. that was a huge swing in marquez's favor

    That fight jumped to mind when I saw this thread, except that I thought the scores were accurate (forgetting the 3 point swing that would have happened if MAB got credit for the knockdown).

    I was a big MAB fan, I was rooting for MAB, but he didn't do enough in most of the rounds that night.

    So despite the wide score in JMM's favor, I thought it was a competitive fight where all of the rounds were close, but JMM almost always did just a tad more.

    It was, but even with that 3 point swing I don't think MAB did enough, sadly. Which is a shame, because I think prime MAB beats Marquez.

    Surprised no one has mentioned this...

    Jose Luis Castillo VS Floyd Mayweather Jr 1
    Hongtongkam 116-111 | Keane 115-111 | Roth 115-111

    Anyone who watched that fight, knew it was much much closer than that.

    Not that it really matters, but both Letterman & Merchant had Castillo winning the fight (ringside) and so did the crowd.

    Funnily enough, both fighters were under the Top Rank wing & Floyd was the next best thing.
