    What specific fights have you seen of Ottke's that were clear robberies, Skel? I don't think the Reid decision was a horrible robbery, it was a horrible ref.

    You know what bit unfair that and a bit tongue in cheek, I think the majority of Ottkes fights were close but I have to agree wiht the Reid fight, that has to be the most over rated robbery ever, like you say shocking reffering but a robbery nowhere near the worst.

    Attempted robbery - That Danny Williams fight where the round stopped a minute early when he almost had the guy knocked out. Then had points taken off him for the crime of wobbling the guy with big rights.
    Can't remember the opponent or the country - germany springs to mind but i've got a funny feeling it was in Spain. I think in Spain against a German...but could be the other way round.

    Yeah that was in Spain, it was the promoter ringing the bell early and stuff.

    I'm sure they were trying to rob Danny but considering they got KO'd it don't really count.

    Far from a robbery. It was a close fight that was probably split over a round or two. The scorecards were too wide, but many still feel Mayweather did enough. It's like calling Calzaghe-Hopkins a robbery, it wasn't it was a close fight that just went Calzaghe's way, even if the scorecards were too wide (I had Hopkins edging it btw).

    In terms of Italy, there was Vito Antuofermo's controversial draw with Marvin Hagler in... Las Vegas

    funnily enough you mention hagler. Hagler was very wary of any english involvement in his fights after the way he was disgracefully treated by the crowd after he beat alan minter at Wembley. When the judges were announced for his fight with Leonard, Hagler strongly opposed the appointment of the english judge (whose name escapes me), and insisted on a different judge. The irony of it all is that the new judge scored the fight for Leonard whereas the english judge, when pressed on the matter, said he scored the fight for Hagler. Quite a lot of people thought he won it although personally i gave it to Leonard

    Yeah, I had that for Leonard for narrowly, wouldn't consider it a robbery as it was close.

    But yeah I know about that story about Hagler. Can't really blame him, Alan Minter used to have a lot of support within a racist group called the National Front & I think the way Minter played up to it with the 'I'll never lose to a black man' comment really fucked himself up. To be honest what they did in the stadium was child's play to what they did around the country week in & out. It's a shame Hagler couldn't beat every one of them up himself.
