Re: Worst Boxing Robberies. Fact.
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).

Re: Worst Boxing Robberies. Fact.
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 LeonardFar from a robbery. It was a close fight that was probably split over a round or two.

Yeah, I had that for Leonard for narrowly, wouldn't consider it a robbery as it was close.funnily enough you mention hagler.

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.

Re: Worst Boxing Robberies. Fact.
i thought ODH won the first fight as well
Re: Worst Boxing Robberies. Fact.
Nah can't agree with that mate, i thought Shane Mosley won a close but clear win in there 1st meeting 7-5. He won the last 2 rounds especially the 12th round big. That earned him the win, but in the 2nd fight he simply wasn't letting his hands go, and ODLH out punched him 2 to 1 and for certain deserved the win.i thought ODH won the first fight as well

Re: Worst Boxing Robberies. Fact.
The cards were a little wide for Brodie-Jorrin. But that shiit was no robbery. It was a close fight. Brodie didn't exactly do himself any favors by getting his ass dropped late in the fight
