Fights you scored in the minority

[Hulk]

Hero Graham beat sambu kala bay in their second fight
Gatti beat ward in their first fight

This I will agree with my friend. However, it was close and its just as well it went to Ward as it ensured that we got a great trilogy to witness.

I also had Holyfield up against Lewis in the 2nd fight

ive only seen the fight once and i was worried at the end

if i could be bothered id watch it again

I loved Holy, I watched it with my mate the second time around (day after). He knew he was my fave & constantly giving me shit (he knew who had won before watching tape) but agreed with me at the end that Evander had squeeked it. Personally I think it was because Lewis was robbed in the first fight but there's enough who had Lewis ahead & it was close.

Surprised nobody has given me shit about Pacman - Bradley.

When I originally watched the fight, I had it I think 8 to 4 for Pacman. But since then, and seeing videos showing that a lot of Pac's stuff wasn't landing, if I went back I'd probably have it a lot closer nad maybe even have Bradley winning.

ive not seen it

i might watch it one day

Just ignore the Pacman cheerleaders from HBO if you do, they were embarrassing

I thought Bradley beat Pacman, i still do, i've watched the fight 3 times and i still cannot make a case for Pacquiao. Pacman simply didn't do enough, he has lost his ring rhythm, his ability to cut off the ring and where were the unusual 'manny' angles and constant pressure in this fight? I was not really surprised Marquez flattened him. Manny is done!

I thought Holyfield won the 2nd Lewis fight, it was a tremendous fight for Holyfield considering the controversy of the the draw and he clearly lost that one. I thought Lewis lumbered around for most of the 2nd fight with no counter to Holyfield's effective jab and he was on target with his left hook..I gave Lewis rounds 2 9, 10 and 11 only. 116-112 Holyfield.

I am in the minority on both counts.

We are in the same camp with these. I had Holy 115-113, haven't watched it for a while & cannot remember the rounds won by either fighter. Will have to view it again soon.

Pacman threw lots of one two's but missed lots for me, coming on in the last 3rd of a round to try & steal it. I still cannot get my head around the bollocks that it was the biggest robbery in years if not ever, for some people

Donaire beat Rigo

No. Just no.

That's the beauty of this thread, going against the consensus

yeah mate, watching boxing (or sport in general) is better with commentators but they can be very bias and it can sway the viewers opinion

[Beanflicker]

For sure. Also when the crowd cheers every missed Pacquiao shot like it's a home run hit, and remain silent when Bradley lands effective shots, it's easy to get carried away.

Anyone else think that Audley clearly beat David Price?

i was suprised at the amount of people who were saying it was one sided

Eubanks beat Watson in their first fight.
I had Chavez beating Taylor and did not need the knock out.
I also had Trinidad beat ODH.

I remember thinking that by the mid rounds Pacman was in trouble, i was under the mis guided belief that Bradley was just being awkward and eventually Pacman would land a big shot and order would be restored, it didn't happen and was never likely to happen during that fight. Pacquaio missed and missed and missed while Bradley countered and scored IMO. It was a close fight, but Bradley did not deserve all the vitriol he received just because he won! This was no Whitaker V Chavez robbery, this was just a close call and it went Bradley's way. If Pacman has a real problem with it then do it again?

[Spicoli]

I also had Holyfield winning Lewis rematch. I didn't see the outrage in Nelson vs Fenech 1 draw. In hindsight I don't see Tiberi vs Toney as a robbery at all, maybe a 1,2 point iffy score. I had Carlos Salazar outboxing Barrera way back. Leonard over Hagler. Tarver over Jones jr 1 with room to spare. Didn't see any controversy at all in Bradley vs Campbell, and I love Campbell...but I think he wanted out!

Good topic actually, gets you thinking.

Barrera beat morales in the first but I had him losing the 3rd fight
