Re: The worst robbery on the top level since 2000 ?

Funny but I actually didn t think Pac-Horn was that bad. I am definitely in the minority but Horn started and ended most of the exchanges even if he whiffed on a lot of shots.
For the Horn fight I had Pacquiao winning by 2 rounds, so yes that's another controversial fight for me.slappy wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 14:47Funny but I actually didn t think Pac-Horn was that bad.

I remember being surprised by the punch stats because I thought Horn was more effective than the numbers showed.
I also think it stings more when they job a journeyman. Vera deserved to retire with that W on his resume.
It was close, if I would enforced to judge it would be 114-113 Golovkin....Tommorrow, I might think differently.............siablo14 wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 14:40bold - take that one out of it.ValMar wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 14:29 I have to mention some very close fights, don't considering them roberies, simply they were extremely difficult to score/judge :

A close fight is not a robbery. Even if you think it should've went the other way. If it was close enough to have reasonably gone either way then it's not a robbery.ValMar wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 15:00It was close, if I would enforced to judge it would be 114-113 Golovkin....Tommorrow, I might think differently.............siablo14 wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 14:40bold - take that one out of it.ValMar wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 14:29 I have to mention some very close fights, don't considering them roberies, simply they were extremely difficult to score/judge :

I missed your top comment. Just seems odd to have included them at all in this thread when the first word is "Worst", but yeah my bad. We're on the same page on this pretty much then it would seem, and I think I had the same score as you in the GGG vs Jacobs fight.
Nice ! You are younger, and your English is better, but we agree.....gilgamesh wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 15:14I missed your top comment.

I've seen those fights, but I didn't get to see them Live as they happened. I'm sure that was awesome, and a hell of a time to be a Boxing fan.ValMar wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 15:19Nice !

My advantage : I can remember Ali vs. Frazier/Foreman/Norton.........![]()
I was a little child (born 1965) but I can remember. Interesting, we had only 2 tv channels, but it was free, absolutely free, and 90 % persons had been watching these fights, believe it or not............Recently, perhaps 20 % watching (mainly HW fights) and it is free (or extremely cheap) again......gilgamesh wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 15:23I've seen those fights, but I didn't get to see them Live as they happened.

chisora vs helenius was an awful robbery. you have to be an awful judge to think helenius did anything to come close to deserving the win. big rob was uselessValMar wrote: ↑17 Feb 2018, 14:29 I have to mention some very close fights, don't considering them roberies, simply they were extremely difficult to score/judge :

Ward-Kovalev 2 has been the different case. There were low blows, but ref might deducted the point from Ward, give Kovalev time to recover and continue the fight. Ward would have won, anyway, Kovalev has been finished (it is my personal opinion, right or wrong)....................Heretic wrote: ↑18 Feb 2018, 07:02 Trying to rank the robberies from bad to worse is bit like trying to rank turds by how bad they smell![]()
Some of the biggest ones recently...
GGG - Canelo
Ward - Kovalev... Both of them
Pac - Bradley
Lesser ones...
Chisora - Whyte
Parker - Ruiz
Both were close but clear and given to the "A side" even thou they really lost.
Agree 100%. Maybe not the worst but very bad and fresh in the mind, I'd cast my vote for Golovkin v Alvarez.
Well no we will never know.ValMar wrote: ↑18 Feb 2018, 09:21Ward-Kovalev 2 has been the different case.

You must not watch many fights... That wasn't even a bad decision. It was a close fight.. and the wrong guy didn't win.. it was a draw.
