Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.

I have heard that Juarez/Raheem was a pretty good home town score for Juarez.

To be fair to the judges in that fight, I doubt they were able to stay awake for 15 rounds, so I guess they presumed Ali must of won ;D

Spinks clearly outpointed Mayorga.

No, No he did not. Not anymore than SRL outpointed Hagler. Same Situation, both BIG Robberies.

Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.

I wish I could put Meldrick Taylor Vs Chavez on this thread, but he was not robbed by the judges he was robbed by the referee. I thought he won 9 rounds of that fight even though he took more punishment from Chavez's power shots. He never was the same again but he deserved to win on that night.

He was in no state to continue and didn't respond to the referees questions, the time was irrelevant, a round is 180 seconds long and you can win or lose at any time during the fight, you shouldn't get help from the ref, just got the fight is nearly finished, even if there was a tenth of a second left. Steele was not the timekeeper and nor should he have been.

yea don't worry it'll happen soon enough, the Collazo fight was Hattons exposure party, and now every good boxer with speed and or power at 140 will be a threat, Margarito for Hatton = Ugly KO loss much like Cintrons

Stevie Johnston, when he had to give the belt back to Jose Luis Castillo.

It might have been true, but still a stinker!

Lucky Stevie Johnston is such a good sport.

Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.

Johnny Famechon-Fighting Harada I.
On the night of July 28,1969 Referee Willie Pep raised the arms of both fighters at the end of 15 furious rounds.A Draw!!!
When they checked Pep's scorecard it was discovered that Famechon had in fact won 70-69.Based on the old 5 points per round system,I had sat down with pad and pencil and scored it 72-68 Harada.As a younger Australian I must admit that I felt relieved when Willie signalled the draw,yet when the victory to Famechon was announced I felt for Harada
who needless to say looked very dejected.In a return bout in Tokyo some six months later Famechon knocked Harada out in the 14th round to retain his World(WBC)Featherweight title.I've always felt that Harada should have got the nod in their first fight.

Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.

Damean Kelly against Maludrottu was by far the biggest roberry of all time. He boxed his face off and lost by loads on the cards. One of the judges even changed his card to an even wider score against Damo. Fucking disgrace!

Pay per view fights are a robbery !!!!!!

Great for the top .001%, who can make big money. Bad for the rest, bad for fans, bad for the sport.

How about Jimmy Vincent v David Barnes - (only a few people will know the fight I mean)

Agree a disgrace emailed everyone i could think of that night alot of our boxing friends still talk about it.

Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.

I am comfortable with the Holyfield Lewis I decision.

I think HBO was hyping Lewis way too much during the fight(If you watched HBO's Broadcast, it would be hard not to be convinced of Lewis's greatness in that fight)

Lewis fought so cautiously, as to make the fight completly boring

Holyfield was the only one willing to exchange.

And I think Holy's punches were generally more effective. Hey.....but it is boxing and inteligent minds will differ.

Seriously, cautiousness aside, as a neutral, I can't see Holyfiled winning more than 3 rounds in the first fight

That was a robbery. Just not the biggest of all time. But a robbery none the less.

It was a robbery despite the fact....3 judges.....HBO.....and skysports all scored it to Hatton.

Were you born a muppet? or was it something you learnt?

you're obviously vision impaired...so I will forgive you for calling "THE HULK" a muppet......but I cannot forgive the fact that you honestly think Hatton won that fight....I can't believe this...I'm going to give you a sc before Violent Demise....and your first one at that....welcome......:)

Yup, I gotta be with Big H on this one, Holyfield was in no way the winner from my POV, but as our esteemed colleague said, intelligent minds will differ, though I hardly claim to be an intelligent mind.

Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.

I respect everybody's quote but damn Penell Whitaker won 10 out of 12 rounds in that fight. Lewis won 8 out of the 12 against Evander. A step below

Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.

Foreman-Briggs
Hagler-Leonard
Hearns-Leonard II
Camacho-Rosario
Wright-Vargas
DLH-Sturm
DLH-Trinidad
Whitaker-Chavez
Whitaker-Ramirez
Lewis-Holyfield I
Hagler-Antuofermo I
Louis-Walcott I
Ali-Norton III

Those are just the painfully obvious robberies. There are many others that I just didn't agree with at all, like Mancini-Camacho, Duran-Camacho I, Hearns-Barkley II, DLH-Whitaker, DLH-Quartey, and Pazienza-Rosenblatt II, that were certainly close but not outright robberies.

Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.

I'm putting this one out there because it's the last one I've seen and very well could be the worst......

I remember some of you that saw it commented on it.....

Silverio Ortiz (16-8) getting robbed against David Diaz (21-1-1) at the time.

This was a robbery in broad daylight in Downtown L.A. >:mad

Re: What's the biggest boxing robbery of all time.

Whitaker-Chavez comes to mind

Whitaker dominated down the stretch, quieting the pro-Chavez crowd in San Antonio. even the Mexican Crowd was shocked when the fight was ruled a Maj draw.

Anytime a fight goes the full 12 anything can happen. Often the fighter with the best promoter wins in these cases !
