I still can't put winning 9-3 and losing the decision ahead of Coggi-Gonzalez 1.
Gonzalez, in reality, won the fight by TKO/DQ THREE times in the 2nd round and still lost the fight.
That's beyond even the worst scorecards IMO.
I just watched it, Absolutley disgraceful. I would say that the referee in that fight was as bad or worse than the referee in Sven Ottke vs Robin Reid. Coggi was hurt badly, The referee was putting his health at risk by not stopping the fight. Then they allowed his corner to come into the ring while the round was still going on. Coggi was also knocked down in, I think it was the 5th round, A clear knockdown that was ruled a slip. And to think Coggi was ahead of ALL 3 scorecards. Unbelievable, There was no way they were going to let Gonzalez win the fight.
But going back to the original point, I think in terms of fights that went 12 rounds. Campillo-Shumenov II is as bad a robbery as there has ever been in the sport of boxing.
Gabriel Campillo vs Beibut Shumenov II is hands down the biggest robbery in boxing history. Sometimes you get fights were one guy clearly won, even if it was close and didnt get the decision but Campillo completely schooled Shumenov. Winning at least 9 out of 12 rounds and beating Shumenov to a pulp in the process, But the corrupt judges gave it to Shumenov and Campillo lost his title as a result.

1. Sven Ottke vs Robin Reid - Reid wins at least 8 rounds and gets a knockdown (which they somehow ruled a slip) and yet Ottke escapes with a unanimous decision. Everyone in the arena knew that Reid won the fight.
2. Gabriel Campillo vs Beibut Shumenov - Campillo outhustled, outworked and basically beat up Shumenov every round. I scored it 118-110 for Campillo but somehow Shumenov got a criminal split decision and Campillo's title with it!
3. Oscar De La Hoya vs Felix Sturm - De La Hoya did well in the first couple of rounds but after that Sturm just went to work on him. Busting him up with jabs and right hands. Some people thought this was a closer fight but I scored it 117-111 for Sturm. He clearly won that fight and convincingly, but they gave it to De La Hoya to save a superfight with Bernard Hopkins.
Same here....it was so one sided too
And De La Hoya Whitaker was bullshit too, recently, Martinez-Williams & Cotto-Clottey, Holyfield was robbed out of history!!! Marquez was robbed.
I dont think you know the meaning of "ROBBED"
It means the fighter CLEARLY won by alot and still lost...
Pretty much every fight you mentioned was a close fight in which either fighter could have won...
Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Meldrick Taylor Hands down, Richard Steel stoped the bout with 2 seconds left, and they were both responding. Taylor was ahead on the cards
take a look carefully and watch the last 25 seconds of the fight taylor was brutally asaulted when down couldnt hold his own holding teh rope never answerd teh 2 question "you ok" "you ok" how was steele supose to let out a fighter liek that continue to fight
Chavez-Whitaker
And De La Hoya Whitaker was bullshit too, recently, Martinez-Williams & Cotto-Clottey, Holyfield was robbed out of history!!! Marquez was robbed.
I am not from Puerto Rico and no it wasn't. It was a close fight. Tito swept the last 4 rounds. And, for the first 8rds Oscar did not win every single round.
The reason it was is because of the way it went down. Al most everybody had ODLH winning the 1st 4 rds and one judge had given 3 of 4 to Tito. The same judge, realizing how far ahead he had Tito because of his bias judging actually gave DLH the 12th rd. A bit of a robbery.

Pretty simple answers to this one
- Holyfield-Lewis given how big the fight was. It was for the undisputed heavyweight championship! Lewis wins at the very least 9 rounds and gets a draw. Unbelievable.
- Ben Rabah-Urango was very bad, but not many people saw this fight on ESPN. Ben Rabah wins 9-10 rounds and LOSES by a unanimous decision!
- Casamayor-Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz won at least 9-10 rounds, even scored a knockdown, and somehow lost by I think it was a split decision. Just disgusting.
- De La Hoya-Trinidad was a total joke. Oscar wins at least 8 rounds and loses by majority decision because he "ran" in the last rounds. What, do those rounds count as double the points now? Tito got owned that night.
- De La Hoya-Mosley II. Oscar was on the receiving end of this one as he pretty much boxed Mosley's ears off, winning 8-9 rounds, yet losing by unanimous decision.
- Sturm-De La Hoya. This is one of the easiest fights to score in the world. Oscar wins the first 4-5 rounds and loses the rest, but they give it to Oscar to save the big fight with Hopkins. Sturm never took on a good opponent since.
- Chavez-Whitaker. Come on, man, Whitaker made him look stupid. No way was that a draw.
Those are the first that come to mind. Somebody mentioned Foreman-Briggs. Yeah, Foreman deserved to win, but it was about 7 rounds to 5, so it wasn't a huge robbery. It was just that HBO loved George and well nobody loved Briggs at all.
Robberies within the last year: Valuev-Holyfield, Funeka-Guzman, Froch-Dirrell, all very blatant.
Louis-Walcott I was about as bad of a big fight robbery there ever was. People need to remember that a draw isn't as big of a robbery as a loss. Casamayor-Santa Cruz was about as disgraceful as any I've seen recently.
