What are the top three worst scorecards ever

Post by forcefraser »

Fury`s first win over McDermott was awful scoring, but that was just one man (O`Connor).

What are your top three worst scorecards ever when all three judges appear to have got it blatantly wrong (not just one stray judge, which we have seen plenty of)

Spinks v Holmes was pretty dodgy.

The bradley fight was off as well for sure.

I had Fury McDermott a draw, it really wasn't that bad.

Lewis Holyfield I always bugs me when I watch it. Pac-Bradley was off too, but so was Pac-JMM III.

Wasn`t that bad? Didn`t the ref give it Fury by 6 rounds?

You'll find a few on Sven Ottke's record :TU:

More recently Huck v Arslan stands out for me. 115-113 | 115-113 | 117-111

I'm sure there are much better examples.

Was it? I thought it was 2 rounds? I'm probably remembering wrong.

Sturm Macklin
113 - 115
116 - 112
116 - 112

The last two were pretty shocking.

I;m sure that I seen a card in the last couple of years that was 120-108 and 108-120 from two different judges of the same fight. Cant remember which fight is was. Anyone remember that?

This is the scorecard from Andre Ward v Carl Froch. According to these two moron judges Froch was only one round away from getting a draw. If we are honest Carl only won two rounds tops. And a case could be made for a shutout.

referee: Steve Smoger | judge: Craig Metcalfe 115-113 | judge: John Keane 118-110 | judge: John Stewart 115-113

There was some horrible scoring in Schulz v Foreman. Axel was one of the unluckiest guys in boxing during that era. Foreman was later at the receiving end of a similar poor decision against Briggs.

Pintor/Zarate is bizarre scoring, there's a huge swing in two of the cards. I think two of the Hagler/Leonard cards differ wildly, too.

Navarez' last fight had hugely differing scorecards, was it that one?

Luckily Paul Thomas was the only one who scored Chambers v Dimitrenko a draw.

Another McDermott one was against Danny Williams, wasn't it very close going into the championship rounds and then McDermott got a couple of KD's plus Williams had a point deduction but still managed to get the W?

Poor old McDermott has been shafted a few times. Mijarez v Navarro was another disgraceful bit of scoring.

Perhaps the best ever, albeit in the amateurs was Roy Jones getting stiffed at the Olympics.

Ken Morita had Mike Tyson ahead of Buster Douglas after nine rounds.

Nearly 25 years later, Ken is still judging major fights.

Oscar De la Hoya had a few bad scorecards in my opinion.. He definitely beat Mayweather and was daylight Robbery but I felt he also should of got the decisions against Felix Trinidad and I think the first Shane Mosley loss.. Dereck Chisora v helenious was terrible aswell

I agree that was an absolute robbery in my eyes. Rios' aggression was not very effective as Abril was covering up very well on on the inside keeping the left arm down along the length of his torso to protect himself from bodyshots and he had his right glove up tight around his jaw, so Rios could not go the body effective without hitting Abril in the back or go for hooks to the head without rabbit punching etc and I had that for Abril.

I also thought Adalaide Byrd's 118-110 scorecard for Carl Froch's rematch against Mikkel Kessler at the O2 was too wide as well, and I agree with David Dee saying that Chisora also got a shafting over in Finland against Robert Helenius for the European title when he was the aggressor for the majority of the fight. Also Pernell Whittaker got done over against Julio Cesar Chavez as well. 115-115 even on Mickey Vann and Franz Marti's scorecards Eh you what?

It was the countless infringements from Cox that Mark Green(im sure) let him away with that riled me most about that fight

John McDermott losses to Danny Williams and Fury were disgraceful. Had him winning both fights by 4-5 rounds.

Lewis - Holyfield draw. Forget which round it was where the idiot female judge give it to Holy when he'd been absolutely battered for 3 minutes.

Chisora - Helenius. Absolute robbery.
