Hotly Debated decisions on UK soil?

[stevieb_8006]

I remember Earl VS Vanzie caused a stink.

Eubank vs Watson (although you could make case for chris).

Benn Vs Malinga 1. (I thought nige lost that)

Any others spring to mind? (Not the fury 1 please)

[banjo]

Barnes v Vincent

[Des1]

Yes def the Fury one, why not? No way did he deserve that fight.

[mickey1975]

after vanzie-earl,vanzie told sky "that terry o'connor needs sorting out",then smashed a window in his own dressing room.he was fined.

[Coco]

I remember O'Conner ripping Rob Norton off in Belfast v Darren Corbett in a Commonwealth title challenge

[el_grande_mauro_mina]

Jeff Harding vs Dennis Andries III
All three of the Johnny Armour vs Francis Ampofo fights
I bet you can take a look at a lot of the fights Paul Thomas officiated in.
Eamonn Magee vs Shea Neary.
Danny Williams vs John McDermott
And I am going to go for Mark Potter vs Danny Williams because that fight should have
been stopped earlier in the round.

Tyson Fury vs John McDermott - why the hell not - worst, most blatantly crooked
descion I have ever seen.

[mickey1975]

after wharton-o'toole,there was absolute uproar.i was at ringside that night,though,and nobody seemed outraged.it was a VERY pro-wharton crowd mind

[deadpan]

Woodhall-Catley

heap bad.

[bynino]

calzaghe v reid

[rf]

John Simpson v dazzo Williams

[Coco]

calzaghe v reid

Calzaghe won??

[stevieb_8006]

Barnes v Vincent

forgot about that 1. that was a scandal soon forgotton wasnt it? Was that on the refs judgement? Who was the ref, any1 remember?

Thought reid vs calzaghe was close but with joe just doing enough.

The reason I asked not for the fury fight is cos theres already loads of threads about it.

[stevieb_8006]

Woodhall-Catley

heap bad.

woodall, class act that he is, admitted he lost that didnt he?

Enzo vs Hobson 1 was close.

[boxerrob2005]

Dean Pithie vs Wiseman Jim
Colin Dunne got very lucky against against a fighter who name escapes me
Scott Harrison vs Victor Polo

[kevo]

Colin Dunne got very lucky against against a fighter who name escapes me

Martin Jacobs, South African fellow. Complete joke of a decision. I think Dunne was down twice, and busted up quite badly, but was still given the win

[stujones]

Magee vs Paul Burke 1

BOTH Vanzie vs Earl fights.

Eubank vs Thompson 1.

[BigEars]

Damaen Kelly v Simone Maludrottu was a 'little bit' controversial.

[telboy66]

It's hard to think that 38 years after Harry Gibbs robbed Henry Cooper of his heavyweight title we are still only using judges in 12 round title fights, last nights match between Mc Dermott & Fury brought back to the forefront the fact that we still place all the burden on the ref he has to control the fight plus make the decision when only viewing the fight from one angle like us watching most of the time missing whats going on on the blind side.
It's time we fell in with the rest of the boxing world & have 3 judges for all pro fights it's not the complete answer but better than what we have now.
The payment of these officials must be the responsibility of the board not promoters taking away the danger of them becoming The promoters hired help if you get my drift, I know where there's money there will always be corruption but without change we will lose the fringe fans first then when enough of us true boxing fans get pissed off we will follow them that's not something I wish to see

[tonyevs]

Richie Woodhall v Glenn Catley

O`Conner gave it to Woodhall by 116 to 113

Richie Woodhall to his credit said this after "I was terrible....Glenn deserved it, I didn't. He was better than me on the night. My jab was miles away, and it was an awful performance."

[Spud]

I remember Colin Dunne clearly losing a fight against a south african fighter called Martin Jacobs at the Goresbrook Leisure Centre - yet the judges gave the fight to Dunne on an SD - there was no way that fight was even close.

Cooper wasn't robbed, he lost, close but lost.

Thats your opinion & your welcome to it I was there that night & no one will ever convince me that Cooper lost

[caffrey]

benn-malinga 1 was absolutely outrageous
also even though the right man won the judges who scored for the brit in harrison-medina 1 and witter v bradley should have been suspended indefinetly

Lost by how wide in your opinion, not trying to be smart just interested because if you only had it by a round or two then i wouldn't exactly call it a robbery because alot of rounds were close. I wasn't there myself but watched it many times and always thought Bugner nicked it although had it gone to Cooper i would not have cried foul
