    Default Fres Oquendo robbed again

    I've flicked through the fight, but not really watched it myself. However it's being reported across the net that he was robbed again this time against Mormeck.

    Got to feel a bit sorry for this journeyman. He clearly beat James Toney, that was a travesty of a decision, I thought Holyfield was very luck to get the nod against him, and everyone thinks he beat Chris Byrd.

    He's lost 6 but really it should only be 2 defeats with wins over Byrd, Holyfield, Toney and Mormeck.

    That's the difference between gatekeeper and world title challenger and you have to feel sorry for the guy.

    He ain't exciting but he gets more raw deals than Glen Johnson it seems.

    The world is always trying to keep a Puerto Rican heavyweight down.

    I think Ruiz should come out of retirement to fight Oquendo and this board should make it happen. Oquendo is THE MAN. He was robbed as someone had erroneously told him he was fighting a frenchman. For 7 rounds he kept asking where the Frenchie was and asked why this yellow bearded black man was trying to punch him. By the time he got word who his actual opponent was he was down on the cards.

    I also think he was holding his own and probably beating Ruiz when they fought before that quick ass stoppage. So IMO this guy (Oquendo) could have only one loss against Tua. I still haven't seen the Mormeck fight but he does seem to get shafted in close fights.

    Cant argue with that. From what ive read it seems as if oquendo was given the same treatment that mighty john ruiz has been given all his career

    Seriously has anybody in the history been given as many rough decision in their career as john ruiz??
