Roy hit Griffin twice when he was clearly on his knees.. Griffin was simply a fast thinker and did something very smart. It worked - although it was dishonest as Hell.. So if you're getting trashed... and you take a knee... and your opponent hits you twice.. and you pretend you're out.. It makes sense to give it a try because you're in the process of getting bombed out - so a point deduction on your opponent does you no good.
Andre Dirrell may have actually been knocked out by Arthur Abraham when he slipped to his knee. That is I think he was. I'm not sure. But Abraham didn't think so. He said "He's a good actor." ... Abraham took a full cut and caught Dirrell on the chin but AD's head swiveled with the shot.

He clearly win the 2nd one. I thought the 1st one was close and actually had Sturm nicking it.
Absolutely no way Sturm should've won the first. How the eff did you end up with him ahead?
He did his usual step on the gas for the last minute trick.
I had it close and wasn't shouting robbery when it went to Chudinov.
Need to check my scorecard but I think I had it around 115-113.

Worst scorecard of the year.
I thought Del-Boy won 2 rounds tops.
Loved how when Chisora put his hands up on the final bell Pulev burst out laughing.
That was funny.
Chisora must have thought he'd try his luck.
That would make a great thread of its own -- the most ridiculous case of a boxer holding up the "I WON" hands at the end of a fight he clearly lost. I know I've seen it many times but can't recall the specific fights.
For me the worst was Holyfield-Lewis 1.
I was a big fan of Holyfield and that fight being declared a draw was a disgrace.
A lesser known one that comes to mind is William Joppy vs Julio Cesar Green 1. Green was given a hometown decision in a fight Joppy clearly won. Don King set up a rematch which Joppy won with ease then set up a trilogy nobody wanted to see by having a third fight that was not competitive and won easily by Joppy.
Same path as the Paquiao/Bradley trilogy but below the mainstream radar.

Jones hit Griffin 100 times harder than art's little slap on the faker. I have faith that someday you'll type something correct.
But when I watched it years later, with the sound off, I thought, "well, Leonard won that."
The only people who are convinced Leonard won that fight are his PR team and those they managed to convince. I wonder which category you fall under?
Categorically untrue.
I've always thought Leonard edged that fight & nobody convinced me to think it.
It was close, but I thought Hagler peed the fight away by arsing about, cursing & trying to make out he was 'the man' rather than just concentrating on putting some hurt on Leonard.
I believe that deep down, Marvin knows this & that is why he is so bitter today, almost a staggering 30 years later.
big scam
