    Default Close/controversial fights

    What were some fights that could have gone either way in terms of judging?

    G3org3,

    I can agree with the majority of your list but what part of eubank vs saunders was controversial.

    Saunders won that clearly by 8-4 possibly 7-5 max.

    IMO

    Well it was a very close fight and I know most though Saunders won but still a lot had it a draw or thought eubank won including 1 of the judges, so I think it can go in the list.

    I had it 7-5 to Eunanks but it was close.

    So was Groves v De Gale that could have gone either way.

    Fair and Balanced

    Muhammad Ali also lost to;

    * Doug Jones
    * Ken Norton II
    * Ken Norton III
    * Jimmy Young

    That's '4' more losses you can add on to his record.

    I think there is 3 catogories

    close - Saunders v Eubanks
    Controversial - Oscar v Shane 2, MAB v Morales 1 and 2
    robbery - Tyson where Atlas went mental this week.

    The line can be interpreted pretty fine at times with emotions in play between a robbery and a close fight.

    Carlos Deleon v Johnny Nelson , was a draw but if one of them had thrown just 1 punch in the twelve rounds they could have won the fight.
