What's the biggest robbery you've seen in boxing?

[gilgamesh]

Tyson Cave vs Oscar Escandon - Cave wins all 12 rounds, and loses a split decision

[Rexob]

Jimmy Vincent vs David Barnes, Robbed!

[littlepug]

Fury v McDermott had me scratching my head

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Everett/escalera for decisions, he won 13 or 14 rounds in his hometown. Chavez/Taylor & corrales/Castillo as far as referees.

[ikorolev]

From the recent ones, Chudinov vs Sturm.

The officiating in the Juan Martin Coggi vs Eder Gonzales fight was unbelievable. The 2nd round saw a fighter completely knocked out, held up by his cornermen by his trunks. Allowed to continue when he was completely defenseless and could've been killed. It was terrible. The fight was before my time so I don't know who's who in the clip, but I know in the 2nd round you'll see probably the worst officiating ever.

Pat Jefferson's loss to Cubanito Perez. It was the semi-main event of the Hagler-Hearns card. . . Al Bernstein called it the worst decision he had ever witnessed in boxing.

Reid v Sven Otke

Everett/escalera for decisions, he won 13 or 14 rounds in his hometown. Chavez/Taylor & corrales/Castillo as far as referees.

Ooh please elaborate on Weekes I want to hear your opinion on that

[Monte Fisto]

Pacquiao vs Bradley 1

Just no way on earth Bradley won. Was a bizarre feeling at the end of that fight.

Sometimes I'll watch a fight live and think it's a robbery then watch it again and see it as much closer. Ali-JImmy Young come to mind, so does Bradley-Pac 1.


Biggest robbery of all time was RJJ in S. Korea 1988.

[SFW]

Herrera vs. Garcia.

No way in hell Danny deserved that fight.

Holyfield's Olympic days were quite repulsive as well, different kind of robbery

[asdfjkl]

Valuev Holyfield, holyfield got robbed
Valuev Haye, Valuev got robbed

Castillo stopped him, only with the referees incompetence was he able to continue. It's tough for many to swallow due to the miraculous comeback, but that took place after two 20 or 30 counts when he couldn't stand up. Made even more ironic by Boxing fans all over forums calling Freitas a bitch for spitting out his mouthpiece against Chico. Much like Corrales condemnation of JLC for missing weight right before he did it himself.

[Lennox]

Bernard Paul v Felix Bwayla a 12 round Commonwealth title fight in the UK. Bwayla won every round and Larry O'Connell gave it to Bernard Paul. In Bwayala next fight he won the commonwealth title but collapsed seconds from the end and never woke up, the bell stopped the contest and he won on points.

I did not see it by Johnny Nelson lost in Brazil on points 120-108 and he won every round.

Yep, the rule is you're not only supposed to be up by the count of 10. You're supposed to be up and ready to continue by the count of 10. He was not ready to continue without the aid of spitting the mouthpiece and buying more time.

Pacquiao vs Bradley 1

That's not the worst robbery I've ever seen, but it's definitely the highest profile fighter I've seen get screwed over so blatantly. I was definitely shocked.

Tyson Cave vs Oscar Escandon - Cave wins all 12 rounds, and loses a split decision

A really good shout, iirc I had money on Escandon and felt dIrty about winning.

Reid v Sven Otke

This.
The worst example of biased corrupt refereeing since the 1934 World Cup final

I don't know if that was a robbery so much as the worst refereeing in history. He seemed quite happy to let both boxers fight on when they were clearly gone. If Tilleman had been the ref Coggi's KD would've been ruled a slip and Eder would've been DQd for hitting him in the face too much.

RJJ Olympics!

Biggest ever. Roy would have had to brutally KO Park Si-hun to get a draw. When it went the distance he had no chance
