Thread: Fights Where you thought the official winner lost

For me.

1. Delahoya-Whitaker: I thought Whitaker won handily, the punch stats even showed Sweetpea outlanding Oscar at a higher connect percentage.

2. Delahoya-Trinidad: I had it 7-2 for Oscar after 9 rounds, but Oscar did himself no favors by running the last 3 1/2 rounds. Still he takes it 7-5 for me.

3. Mayweather-Castillo I: I thought Castillo won this fight albeit it was very close. It was 7-5 for me for JLC.

4. Pacquiao-Marquez II: I had JMM winning it 7-5, another close fight. It might have been 8-4 for JMM on my card if not for the KD.

5. Ali-Norton II, III: I had Ali losing both times. It's been awhile since I've seen the fights, but I still had Norton winning it handily. I know a lot of people felt he lost to Norton at least 2 of 3.

Mosley - De La Hoya 2

Im a massive Mosley fan but Oscar took the rematch in my opinion

though very close, I had barrera winning the first morales fight by 1 round.

I also had de la hoya quartey a draw

I forgot about that one. I also gave the nod to Oscar.

Another few fights from the top of my head.

Whitaker-Ramirez 1: Sweetpea should have won his first title in this fight.

Hagler-Leonard: I give Leonard credit for being in an competitive fight despite the surrounding circumstances of this being his 2nd fight in 5 years, but those late pitty patty flurries at the end of rounds really didn't convince me Hagler lost.

Some of these fights aren't really robberies, i mean fights like ODLH vs Whitaker, FMJ vs JLC 1, Shane Mosley vs ODLH 2, are very close fights that could of gone either way. Even Shane Mosley vs ODLH 2 is an overrated bad decision. Im thinking of fights like Tyrone Everett vs Alfredo Escalera that was just plain awful.

DLH-Quartey
DLH-Sturm
Sotto-Espinosa
Cassa-StaCruz
SRL-Hearns II
Foreman-Schultz
Vernon-Quartey
InJoChoo-Penalosa
Tokuyama-Penalosa
Morales-Barrera I
Barrera-Morales II

Mosely vs de la hoya 2 - I thought shane landed 2 decent shots the whole fight. And thats when he did throw which wasn't often at all.

Both Pac vs marquez fights. Yes I'm well aware the first one was a draw, but still I think jaun had him beat.

Fury vs Mcdermot - Battle of the bums, Mcdermot won it, felt sorry for him.

Ottke vs Reid - Most of Sven Ottke's fights should be on here.

Corrales ve Castillio 1 - Very dubious circumstanses there.

Lewis vs holyfield - was a draw but lewis won by a mile

De la hoy vs sturm - Big controversy at the time

lol

Ali Funeka vs Nate Campbell and Joan Guzman....horrible decisions.

ali funeka and sergio martinez have pretty much been getting screwed over everytime theyve crossed the american border.


Sven Ottke`s entire career involved horrible judging which you wouldnt even be able to call biased as it wouldnt do the word justice

Pacquiao-Marquez II

Froch-Dirrell

Martinez-Williams

Cotto-Clottey

Ramirez-Whitaker

De La Hoya-Whitaker

Trinidad-De La Hoya

Calzaghe-Hopkins

Barrera-Morales I

Holmes-Norton

Bute-Andrade I

Soto-Lorenzo I

Oscar - Mosley II
Oscar - Tito
Augustus - Burton
Ali - Norton III
Ali - Frazier II (One of the most overlooked robberies in boxing history)
Foreman - Briggs

2010 - Shumenov/Campillo II - Campillo dominated the pace, defense, ring generalship, effective aggression and clean punching for most of the fight I had Campillo winning 9 rounds to 3. This was a horrible robbery.

Taylor v Spinks
Williams v McDermott
Hopkins v Forbes

Horrible decisions those 3 fights.

I think DLH beat Whitaker by virue of winning the last round - score cards were way out though!
