Re: Worst Decisions of 2007
D. Hopkins vs. S. Forbes was one of the worst I've ever seen.

The third one that sticks in my throat though was the Demetrius Hopkins win over Steve Forbes. Forbes gave Hopkins a boxing lesson that night yet the scorecards had the fight not even close ???
At least he got the benefit of the doubt against Bojado in a close fight but still DHop and Goldenboy plain robbed him imo.
CC in 24, I agree. Those 3 were the worst decisions I know of from 2007. I've read interviews with Casa talking about how he deserved to win the fight, you'd think someone who'd lost/been robbed in the way Casa had earlier in his career would have enough class to admit it was a shady decision or at least rematch Santa Cruz.
Re: Worst Decisions of 2007
Overall, I think 2007 was a very good year for judging, because there wasn't a single big fight that was marred by a bad decision.
All the robberies in 2007 involved fights that were decent matchups, but not HUGE matchups.
I wish boxing had no bad decisions, but there's always going to be at least a few each year, and therefore I'd rather have them happen in Casamayor-Santa Cruz and Forbes-Hopkins instead of seeing robberies in Calzaghe-Kessler, Mayweather-DLH, Cotto-Mosley, etc.
I think the judges got the cards right in every single big fight this past year.

Robbery is robbery but I take your point.At least with the Big names a rematch is all but a certainty for them where as the not so big or unexpected will most likely fall by the way side (Santa -Cruz)
What are his or Forbes chances of getting a rematch clause in there contract's,They are due respect.
As far as worst descision Id say Huerta Vs. Kid Diamond.Huerta busted him up ,landed bigger power and set the tempo.Lightweights are stacked and Huerta Imo is on a roll.
