I know boxing is viewed as one of the dirtiest sports around, and with some of the 12 round outcomes....rightfully so. What fights can you remember being robberies? It can be your opinion or just facts, but lets see what you guys think......In my personal opinion I thought DHL was robbed with the Tito fight and JLC was robbed in his first fight with Mayweather though I think Mayweather is P4P champ.....what you guys think?
Anything in Minnesota is basically fixed. Matt Vanda has won a couple I know of that he never should have.
You wouldnt happen to have the Campas fight would you?
Recent examples of straight-up robberies:
Montell Griffin vs. Rico Hoye
Fres Oquendo vs. Chris Byrd
Matt Vanda vs. Sam Garr
Grady Brewer vs. Sechew Powell
These weren't even close; they weren't close "The wrong guy won", like DLH vs. Sturm, Tarver vs. Johnson I, Tarver vs. Jones I, Byrd vs. Golota, Je. Chavez vs. Hernandez, etc. were - where clearly one guy didn't win more than seven rounds.
That one had a lot of close rounds niels. Good thing we are getting a rematch. :D

Foreman vs Briggs, foreman won dat for sure and brigss won. i think that it was planneed dat way so lewis wudnt have to fight foreman, coz the winner of foreman and briggs wud have to face lewis.
I heard Lewis vs. Holyfield I was just completley rediculous :D . I never saw it how bad was the scoring?...
It was an absolute joke! Holyfield won 3 rounds tops. In 6 or 7 of the 12 rounds Holyfield was credited with landing fewer than 10 punches while Lennox was scoring 40+. Holyfield was slow as hell and missed all night while Lewis peppered him with jabs continuously.
The AP scored it 117-111 for Lewis. Yet somehow 1 judge scored the fight in Evander's favor and another had Lewis needing to win the 12th round to squeak out a draw? :confused:
Complete highway robbery.
I think a lot of you guys need to learn the meaning of robbery. Many of the fights mentioned were close. Robbery is 1 fighter dominating the other and losing the decision, or being given a draw.
Oh yeah, Whitaker-Oscar was pretty bad.
When you say that a fight was a robbery that should mean that it was so clear a 2 year old could tell you who won...
Oscar and Pernell could have gone either way and in absolutely no way was it a robbery, that word is far to strong.
A robery suggests that the fight was dominated by 1 guy....PErnell dominated Oscar....you have not watched this fight in a long time I can tell-if you had robbery would not be something you agree with.
The draw with Whitaker and thats about it.
The gift draw he got with Frankie Randall in the first fight was absolutely awful, my heart went out too Randall that night-he beat JC Superstar up that night.
