Worst one I've seen was poor Said Lawal who wasn't a bad fighter, he got wasted by prime Hamed in 3 punches without throwing a single shot.

That fight made me miss Mayweather-Alvarez, I fell asleep after 3 or 4 rounds and missed the main event.

On the undercard of Hopkins-Pavlik, there was an abomination of a title fight between featherweight champ Steven Luevano and Aussie challenger Billy Dib.
Dib was undefeated at the time, but he looked scared to death of Luevano, who was a decent fighter, but no Alexis Arguello.

Luevano, however, seemed quite content that Dib had no intention of fighting that night, and turned in a stinker of a performance himself.

Twelve rounds of unending boredom.

Somehow, the judges decided that someone had to get the verdict and gave it to Luevano, presumably because he came forward, however tentatively.

The "action" in this bout made the main event seem like the Thrilla in Manila.

Klitschko v Povetkin was bad, Bey v Vasquez was even worse.
