Thread: Robbery, Close Fight or Fix?

Robbery and fix could be redundant I guess. Or people like Byrd just can’t score a fight to save their life.You could also pick all 3 for the same fight in some cases I guess. I'm interested in the individuals criteria to differentiate.

I can only comment on the fights I have seen:

Manny v Tim- Manny was robbed and won by a BLOWOUT. The second biggest robbery since DLH/Trinidad.

Sturm v Oscar: Sturm should have won by two points. But it was DLH and I have seen much worse- see above.

Morales v Mab 1: Morales edged this one out. Our sympathies were with MAB, but he didn't seal the deal.

Oscar v Shane 2: Shane had the moral and competitive edge that night. I have no problem with the outcome.

Leonard v Hearns: I had SRL by one point in the second fight.

Whitaker v Chavez: Fight was a draw. I can accept a draw.

Floyd v Castillo 1: Should have been a draw. But Floyd winning by one point wasn't the end of the world.

Oscar v Hopkins: A shot to the liver is what it was. End of story. B Hop just put it on him.

Ali v Liston 1: The backstory was that LISTON'S CAMP was the ones trying to cheat. Ali just gave us a first glimpse of how good he was and how great he would have become.

Ali v Spinks 1: Ali got his ass handed to him. lololol... everyone saw that.

Holmes v the other Spinks 2: Could have been a draw. But Holmes didn't do enough to press the fight to a clear win. At this time, his aura was gone and he didn't have that one or two point given when he got in the ring. Should have stopped Spinks....

Hagler v Leonard: This is/was the toughest one. Hagler's style didn't allow him to wow the judges. SRL was just splendid with combinations and fighting back and landing shots. SRL won. A close fight, but the right decision was achieved in my eyes.

Lewis v Holy 1: Lewis won this fight larger than what he won by in the second fight. If anything, Lewis lost the second fight. lolololol......

Burton v Augustus: Burton avenged this travesty. A damn shame that a guy can get robbed like that BECAUSE the judges feel that he's worthless, has a dead end career and the other guy has potential for large earnings in the future. I'm glad Burton got ko'd in the rematch... good for him!!

Manny v Marquez 3: Listen, Manny won this fight. JMM just continued to fight until he won one. Now he doesn't want to fight Manny again.... bitch ass move if you ask me.

Tito v Oscar: Biggest robbery in boxing that I ever saw. The only other robbery in boxing larger than this and more clearer than this was the Roy Jones Jr. vs. Park Si Hun Seoul Olympics Gold medal match. A dark, shit stain on boxing- one that real fans will never, EVER forget.

Wright v Vargas: Wright didn't throw enough punches. Vargas deserved to win.

Whitaker v Oscar: Close fight. It could have been a draw. DLH deserved the edge because he was more aggressive and had Whitaker moving backwards for most of the fight.

Holmes v Witherspoon: 'Spoon had "spots" during this fight. But he didn't win every round and didn't win out many of the rounds. Spots don't win fights, or rounds... you have to win the entire round. And against the champ, you had better win rounds BIG.

Oscar v Ike: Tough fight. I didn't know DLH was that tough. Quartey was a good opponent. I have no problem with the decision.

I'll have to watch the other fights to tell you more about it IF I can find them.
