I only voted for Tito-DLH, forgot about the multiple votes(gotta a couple buds in me). I thought this was the most obvious choice since DLH was seemingly winning until he started dodging Tito for the last few rounds of the fight. But what DLH didn't know was that the judges already had it close before he started that *****-ass ****. So in a way, it was a good robbery.

I think Robbery is too strong a word for any of those fights you mentioned.

They were all close enough they could have conceivably been scored either way.

Fights you should have mentioned:

Lewis vs Holyfield 1 (no way did Vander win more than 4 rounds)

Courtney Burton vs Emanual Augustus (one of the worst decesions I ever saw)

u can win a fight if u win 7 rounds before u start running, no way in hell did tito win 7 rounds.


its already proven that golota-byrd was a fixed fight, and i belive according to the offical score cards of golota-ruiz. golota only won 2 rounds outta that whole fight by what they had down!!!!!!!! i kidna feel bad for golota now, 2 low DQ's drugged up so he got KO, and he quit twice, then finely comes back in order and gets robbed twice of 2 belts that should be his.

I hear ya, but that wasn't what I was getting at, there's a difference between "winning the round" and "2 out of 3 judges giving a fighter a 10-9 round"

Castillo "winning" 6, or 7, or even 8 rounds vs. Floyd at the MGM in Vegas on a national holiday (4:20) won't earn him a decision win....

plus, like i stated before, I thought Floyd swept rounds 1-4, and it's tough to lose with a 4 round lead from the get-go

No offence to my German home-boys but arent they supposed to be renowned for giving the decisions in favour of their countryman or someone who they consider to be an ally (possibly some1 from a wartime alliance nation).

This may be a bit of a stereotype but i think it definitely happens.

Having said that Joe Calzaghe won against Mario Veit the other day and that was held in Germany.

You cant prove he tooks roids that an accusation by Bowe because Bowe gets drunk and thinks he is big man and cant admit Golota beat the life out of him. Alot of people have pimples on their back. You dont need to take roids to have pimples on your neck or back, I know somebody that pimples and their back and neck and they dont take roids. And the sanctioning bodies test for substance abuse. You are just a Golota hater like Michael Katz is, pathetic dweeb.

Bowe's not a drinker, he got brain damage from Golota's left hooks combined with 3-4 of the worst head-butts in heavyweight history....

and if those weren't roid pimples on his back back in 96, how did his back clear up all of a sudden in the past couple of years? You don't hit puberty in your 30's (or at least real men don't, but you and Golota may be in a whole other category)

dude I KNOW, but if you get them, and they're all over you, and you're past the age of 18, then they won't just clear-up through growing up or growing old, there will be scars and red marks all over....

roid pimples, however, will appear for a while then fade once you are off your cycles, I've lifted weights since I was 13 so I've seen many friends go thru roid cycles (which 90% of the time lead to back and shoulder pimples) Golota is an obvious case, it's really not even worth the debate, if you had ever seen anyone go through a riod cycle you'd know that Golota was on the sauce

I think the Golota-Byrd fight was too close to call it a "robbery", but Fres Oquendo should have been IBF champ that night anyway because Oquendo WAS robbed against Byrd.

Ruiz definitely beat Golota on my card.
