fights that pissed you off

De La Hoya/ChavezI:

Yes I knew Chavez was nearing the end of his great career, and Oscar was taking up his mantle. I knew De La Hoya was a warm favourite. But still I figured Chavez to be lively for a few rounds, making the young pup work, before De La Hoya eventually got on top of things.

So I stayed up too gone six in morning, to watch the bout. I got that tingle you get from big fights (and alcohol). And 20 seconds in Chavez is busted open. I felt a little sorry for myself as I trudged to bed, but by the time I woke up, I put it down to one of them things that can happen in boxing, Chavez and the viewing public were unlucky...

Then I found out Chavez was cut in sparring (again, it happens), it healed up, but a week before the fight Chavez's child accidently butts Chavez, causing the wound to open up again...

I was fuming when I found out! I was and still am a huge Chavez fan, but there can be no denying he tried to squeeze every last penny out of his loyal fans, as the magic was disappearing.
