I watched the first Paul Williams vs Sergio Martinez fight again tonight, one judge scored the fight 119 - 110 for Williams.

Watch Casamoyer vs Santa Cruz. Every scorecard was terrible as most had it close to a shut out for Santa Cruz
When James Buster Douglas basically spent evry rd knocking the $#!t out of a prime Mike Tyson and knocked him out in rd 10, two judges' scorecards didn't reflect what was going on in the ring.
Judge: Larry Rozadilla 82-88, Douglas ahead.
Judge: Ken Morita 87-86, Mike Tyson ahead ?!
Judge: Masakazu Uchida 86-86, a draw?!
I was there for that one and Casamayor was poor. It wasn't a shutout in my eyes, as there were rounds were neither guy did much, but I still had Santa Cruz winning it.
The worse scorecards I've seen were in the David Diaz-Erik Morales fight. People are probably sick of me bringing this up, but that was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen. I gave Diaz 3 rounds at most, it was utter bullshit to setup a Pac fight.
Hardy/BelcastroI: European title fight, in Italy; one judge scored the bout 2-0 Belcastro with 10 even rounds...

Doug Tucker in Mijares-Navarro. Mijares clearly won the fight but Tucker somehow has Navarro winning ... a shut-out. He had the clear loser winning every single round. I've never seen anything like that before or since. I remember the commentators assuming that the announcer must've mixed up the scores and he actually had Mijares winning every round. Unfortunately not.
Leonard judge score against Hagler was like 10 rounds to Ray and 2 to Hagler.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Hagler vs Leonard in 1987, very controversial scoring.
Years later, because of ongoing arguments between Boxing fans as to who really won the fight, I decided to score it myself just to work out for myself who I thought won.
Gotta take off the fan-hat and put on the judge's hat, become as impartial as possible and score it rd by rd under the scoring criteria of Boxing.
I had Hagler winning 8 rds and Leonard winning 4 rds. Wasn't a close fight at all, but watching it live on ppv, it seemed a much closer fight.
There was a close rd which scored the other way would've been 9 rds to 3 rds.
Classic fight anyway...
Oscar-Sturm was pretty bad.
Lewis-Holyfield 1 was disgusting
Hopkins-Taylor 1.. I dont even like Hopkins but I thought he was done wrong. Hops was the defending undisputed champ and no way Taylor did enough to take that away from him. Fuckin bullshit.
Oscar-Tito
BTW, i agree with Santa Cruz-Casa.. Funny that Gest mentioned this robbery cuz this was the first fight that popped into my head when i saw this thread. Yea it was bad.
