The REAL worst robbery of all-time

i get a kick when this subject comes up and clowns talk about a fight where one guy deserved to win 115-114 and about half of the ringside press scored for one guy and the other half scored for the other. Truly wretched decisions are Escalera-Everett, Holyfield-Lewis I, Nelson-Fenech I, Augustus-Burton, etc... However, none of these equal the disgusting and disgraceful "contest" that was the first bout between Juan Coggi and Eder Gonzalez. Harder to find footage, so here's an article recapping this. Closet Classic - Juan Coggi vs. Eder Gonzalez I By Lee Groves (Dec 19, 2006) Send this page to friend Give us your feedback -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Home field advantage. Teams in every sport spend the entire regular season fighting to secure it, and the very best of them have it throughout the entire playoffs as a reward for their success. It’s a result of human nature; for some reason we are much more comfortable performing in front of people who want us to succeed and who are willing to do their part to make it happen. The feeling of belonging and support give us the extra push we need to achieve the main objective – winning the game while pleasing the audiences both at the stadium and watching on television. The "away" team, on the other hand, must adopt an unnatural mindset; they must find pleasure in playing spoiler and draw strength from the booing that accompanies their success. When they do a good job, they must generate the immediate positive feedback among themselves and be content to wait until they return home to receive it from their fans. Boxing may be a one-on-one sport in the ring, but the concept of home field advantage is just as strong. The size of the ring and the canvas surface is often tailored to the house fighter’s strengths and the term "hometown decision" is firmly in the sport’s lexicon. But even boxing has its limits and those limits were crossed in a most outrageous way on December 17, 1993 when Argentine Juan Coggi defended his WBA junior welterweight title against Colombian Eder Gonzalez at the Club Defensores de Villa Lujan in San Miguel, Tucuman, Argentina. The events that occurred were so blatantly one-sided that one in-ring participant ended up being banned for life.
