    To be fair, I'm pretty sure Nash took a dive

    Lupe Pintor defending on Wide World of Sports against a runner named Jose Uziga.

    One judge scored it something like 150-126.

    Watch it yourself and I'll bet you don't score it that close.

    I remember Bernard Hopkins middleweight defense against Morrade Hakarr being pretty awful even for a stay busy / pointless mandatory fight

    I can't believe nobody has said Haye V Harrison. They didn't throw a punch for 6 minutes. Then Haye threw a combination and the fight was over. Dire stuff.

    Honourable mention for Joshua V Ruiz 2. Promised so much, delivered so little. It's the only PPV I've ever bought which I genuinely felt short changed.

    The fights where literally nothing happened, e.g. Terry Norris vs Paul Vaden (a 90s unification bout no less). Vaden clearly had a meltdown before the fight.

    Lewis v Akinwande would’ve been a great romantic film with all the cuddling Henry was doing, but as a boxing match, it was terrible!!
