Since the Peters Toney fight seems to have a lot of people Ticked off I was just sitting here thinking about some of the worst decisions I have seen over the last 10 or so years. There are dozens more some worse than those on the list.. I just used what came to mind the quickest....I give it a tie between the ODH/Sturm bout and the Burton/Augustus 1 fight
On that list: Holy Lewis 1. Winky and Vargas was bad.
Just so you know, it's just 'Peter' not Peters ;)
Yeah...Winky Vargas was terrible.Quote:

Here I added Wright and Vargas like I said it was the first ones that came to mind
Sven Ottke Vs ADD NAME HERE ...
for me it would be when Sven faced Robin Reid... Robin knocked him on the canvas and got told off by the ref ::**
whitaker vs chavez
golota vs ruiz
i chose holyfield lewis
I had to go with Wright-Vargas.
jesse brinkley vs anthony bosante rematch that was robbery
I saw burton augustus 1 and i was disgusted. The ref obviously hadn't seen Augustus' style so he deducted a point for his antics, and said it was for "spinning himself out of a clinch". Yeah Emanuel was making that guy look foolish. Didn't they have a rematch or something like a couple days ago?
Burton-Augustus without a doubt. That was the definition of a robbery, Burton won maybe 2 rounds at most, more like 1.
I guess Sturm-Oscar next but the rest of them were just bad decisions. You could have given Peter 5 rounds, so its not really a robbery, just a bad decision, same with Winky-Vargas, Ike-Vernon.
Nigel Benn v Chris Eubank 2nd fight was bad I thought Benn should off win that one...
Urango vs. Be Rabah, Rabah was robbed he won likw 10 rounds...
Sturm vs. DLH was a blantant robbery, the rounds weren't very close. Even if you gave the close ones to DLH you wouyld still have Sturm coming out on top by 1 point.

Since I don't think Peter-Toney was a robbery. (The problem is the 5 point spread 116-111 for Peter, thats the problem)
I went with Lewis-Holy I, Vargas-Winky then this one MOST of you might not have seen it but it was HORRIBLE.
David Diaz (Newly crowned WBC Lightweight Champ 'Interim') vs. Silverio Ortiz. Ortiz outworked, outhustled, out everything on that night. Diaz got worked from post to post and when the verdict was announce the hosts of the show (Solo Boxeo on Telefutura) were so disgusted that one of 'em actually went off and did a mini Teddy Atlas with one of the State Comm. Truly disgusting decision.
For those who keep saying Winky-Vargas, have you even seen that fight?
How was Winky dominting Vargas like he does fighters now? That fight could easily went either way!
I saw it live, I've seen 3 times since then and I get the same result. Which is Winky wining the fight, it's not as bad as Lewis-Holy BUT it is a robbery. The thing with the fight was that Vargas was landing the bigger punches but Winky IMO was working more and kept busier through out the entire fight.Quote:

The robbery cry stems from Wright being a near no name, underdog, tune up and giving the highest level named Vargas all he could handle. DLH/Sturm was close also. People often give the robbery tag too much. Controversial should be used more. Like the Peter/Toney fight. It was not a robbery but very much controversial because of the scores of two of the judges. To me the fight could have gone either way but neither fighter won by the margin of 116-111. Not to mention the deduction of a point to Peter. The fight that comes to mind as the worst decision I've seen is Whitaker/Chavez draw. That was a robbery. I heard Chavez die hards even admitting that he lost. The Forrest/Quartey fight was definitely the wrong decision and is probably a robbery to me.
Off that list, Holyfield Lewis.
Im sorry guys the true definition of a robbery/bad decision has to be Bobby Pac getting the nod against Carlos Hernandez. Bobby Pac's trainer came out and said there was no way his boy won, Hernandez's wife was in tears, that was the sickest robbery ives seen, just no way in hell Bobby won that.

Chris Byrd-Fres Oquendo was one of the worst decisions i have ever seen
Good one, doesn't get mentioned alot... Out of the list, either Augustus Burton or Holy LEwis.... Holy Lewis would probably be my pick due to what the fight meant, it was a hw unification bout and it truly wasn't close... Holy won maybe, maybe, 3 rounds..Quote:
