Worst Judged Rounds...

I recently re-visited De La Hoya-Trinidad (yep, no doubt Oscar was robbed) & had forgotten Bob Logist gave the final round to De La Hoya...what the hell!? That's unforgivable.

Even worse --- one official (forget off the top of my head) scoring round one of Pacquiao-Marquez I 10-7 Pacquiao --- how is such incompetence at this level possible!?

Who's got others?

From memory Lewis - Holyfield I , Eugenia Williams scored round 5 for Holyfield, even though he spent most of the round getting pummeled.

Yep, the 10-7 1st round with 3 KDs in the Pacquiaio-JMM fight was just incompetence, but the Round 5 given to Holyfield in the 1st fight was the obvious result of a judge either being payed, or not paying attention to the fight.

Quite a few bouts have had several rounds judged one-sided,

the Pac-JMM comes to mind

Other examples of not just a completley one-sided round, but several 'obvious' rounds could be the Hopkins v Calzaghe bout. Which was very close, however Giampa made it appear as if Hopkins did not win any rounds except for the First.

I have to say, I think it receives stiff competition from Logist's scorecard in round twelve of De La Hoya-Trinidad. 10-9 De La Hoya? That's scary stuff. Truly.
