I think Kovalev beat Ward and it was a bad decision for me, but not a robbery. The score all 3 judges had wasn't outlandish as much as the best Ward could have reasonably gotten, and the fact that they all had it that way stunk. It was a fight of two halves more or less.
Parker vs. Ruiz was more like a quiet theft. A hush-hush hustle. A sneak into the hotel room while the guest is on tour kinda robbery.
The draw between Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker and Colombia’s Darleys Perez on November 19 was a terrible miscarriage of justice for Perez who schooled Hooker throughout. One judge inexplicably had it 97-93, for Hooker. “Mighty Mo” was exposed; Perez was stiffed.
A close second involved Marcus Browne’s win over previously unbeaten Radivoje Kalajdzic. The final judges’ scores were 76-74 and 76-75 for Browne, and 76-74 for Kalajdzic. Browne was given credit for a 1st round knockdown in which he didn’t land a punch. Kalajdzic slipped to the canvas without being hit. To add insult to injury, Browne hit Kalajdzic with a shot while he was down. Kalajdzic did more than enough to deserve the victory.
The problem with boxing. Close fights like Kov Ward and Ruiz Parker are called robberies.
Bute getting a draw against Jack was a bit of a shocker.
Robbery of 2016 was in the olympics where Conlan beat his Russian opponent so badly he was unable to take advantage of the gift the judges gave him. The 91kg final was a stinking decision too.
Ronda vs Nunes
chudinov and sturm for me... other decison were pretty bizzare and bewildering, hooker v perez (i think) but sturm is ageing and clearly not that good anymore and was giving another dodgy decision against an opponent who fought better than him, I vote for that one just due to how much luck sturm has had in the past(not v de la hoya though of course :S)
I totally agree w/ Freedom on his selections.....Quote:
