Fights Where you thought the official winner lost
For me.
1. Delahoya-Whitaker: I thought Whitaker won handily, the punch stats even showed Sweetpea outlanding Oscar at a higher connect percentage.
2. Delahoya-Trinidad: I had it 7-2 for Oscar after 9 rounds, but Oscar did himself no favors by running the last 3 1/2 rounds. Still he takes it 7-5 for me.
3. Mayweather-Castillo I: I thought Castillo won this fight albeit it was very close. It was 7-5 for me for JLC.
4. Pacquiao-Marquez II: I had JMM winning it 7-5, another close fight. It might have been 8-4 for JMM on my card if not for the KD.
5. Ali-Norton II, III: I had Ali losing both times. It's been awhile since I've seen the fights, but I still had Norton winning it handily. I know a lot of people felt he lost to Norton at least 2 of 3.

Mosley - De La Hoya 2
Im a massive Mosley fan but Oscar took the rematch in my opinion
Re: Fights Where you thought the official winner lost
though very close, I had barrera winning the first morales fight by 1 round.
I also had de la hoya quartey a draw

I forgot about that one. I also gave the nod to Oscar.
Another few fights from the top of my head.
Whitaker-Ramirez 1: Sweetpea should have won his first title in this fight.
Hagler-Leonard: I give Leonard credit for being in an competitive fight despite the surrounding circumstances of this being his 2nd fight in 5 years, but those late pitty patty flurries at the end of rounds really didn't convince me Hagler lost.
Re: Fights Where you thought the official winner lost
Some of these fights aren't really robberies, i mean fights like ODLH vs Whitaker, FMJ vs JLC 1, Shane Mosley vs ODLH 2, are very close fights that could of gone either way. Even Shane Mosley vs ODLH 2 is an overrated bad decision. Im thinking of fights like Tyrone Everett vs Alfredo Escalera that was just plain awful.

Re: Fights Where you thought the official winner lost
Mosely vs de la hoya 2 - I thought shane landed 2 decent shots the whole fight. And thats when he did throw which wasn't often at all.
Both Pac vs marquez fights. Yes I'm well aware the first one was a draw, but still I think jaun had him beat.
Fury vs Mcdermot - Battle of the bums, Mcdermot won it, felt sorry for him.
Ottke vs Reid - Most of Sven Ottke's fights should be on here.
Corrales ve Castillio 1 - Very dubious circumstanses there.
Lewis vs holyfield - was a draw but lewis won by a mile
De la hoy vs sturm - Big controversy at the time

Re: Fights Where you thought the official winner lost
Ali Funeka vs Nate Campbell and Joan Guzman....horrible decisions.
Re: Fights Where you thought the official winner lost
ali funeka and sergio martinez have pretty much been getting screwed over everytime theyve crossed the american border.
Sven Ottke`s entire career involved horrible judging which you wouldnt even be able to call biased as it wouldnt do the word justice

Augustus - Burton

Re: Fights Where you thought the official winner lost
2010 - Shumenov/Campillo II - Campillo dominated the pace, defense, ring generalship, effective aggression and clean punching for most of the fight I had Campillo winning 9 rounds to 3. This was a horrible robbery.
Re: Fights Where you thought the official winner lost
Taylor v Spinks
Williams v McDermott
Hopkins v Forbes
Horrible decisions those 3 fights.
Re: Fights Where you thought the official winner lost
I think DLH beat Whitaker by virue of winning the last round - score cards were way out though!
