He's the only person I've ever seen who doesn't think that Whitaker got blatantly robbed. Whitaker took Chavez to school in front of 65,000 of his own fans. I had Chavez winning 3 rounds. The only people in the entire arena who didn't think Whitaker won were the two moronic judges who scored it 115-115.
It's no surprise Chavez never went for a rematch, because he knew he would've been beaten again, and he wouldn't get lucky with a corrupt decision twice in a row.
(By the way, Mick, if my memory is bad and it wasn't you who was the one who didn't think Pernell got robbed.... my fault.)
Mick has been known to throw a few back before watching a match 8) ain't nothing wrong with that ! ;)

I would say Meldrick Taylor one was imo and i haven't seen it but alot of people think Chavez should of lost 2nd fight with Frankie Randall aswell.
Richard Steele's call to end that fight with like 2 seconds left when Taylor had the fight won was IMO the worst robbery and worst call I've ever seen in boxing. I agree with you, Meldrick by all rights gave Chavez his first loss.
Re: How did you see Whitaker/Chavez?
Also something I consider was how biased the annoucers were towards Chavez on the tape I watched. In the earlier part of the fight one said "...well Chavez won those last two rounds no problem" when I thought Pea had taken both. When Chavez was landing low blows on Pea, they were saying "Great bodyshots by Chavez!" but when Pea landed a low blow they were quick to call him on it.
And dispite this bias, at the end of the fight even THEY thought Pea won.
