"I wonder if that referee is constructing an advertisement for the abolition of the very sport he is a part of"
Howard Cosell calling the Holmes/Cobb fight. He never called a fight again.
And no true boxing fan ever missed him.
Wasn't that the fight where Tex Cobb asked the referee to help him because he was white too? :lol1:
I honestly don't know, I'll see if I can find something

There is a really funny video of Tex Cobb roasting Larry Holmes..
I think he said something like this to Larry
You gave me some great memories....... and took some away.... so they tell me..
I’m guessing Larry Holmes vs Tex Cobb. 15 rounds and Larry won them all big. Afterward Cobb said Holmes didn’t win the fight just the first 15 rounds. Hilarious!

I don't know about 15 rounders but Pacquaio put a shut out and dropped Algeri 6 times, that must of been 120-102
Scores were 119-103, 119-103 and 120-102,
but Algieri's corner was waiting for the right moment to let Chris "out of the cage!" :-)

Would have to be a really lopsided fifteen rounder. I have no clue.
This ^ no 12 rounder is gonna be close to a wide 15 rounder...
However, I ain't sure this counts and I'm not sure they ever got a fight wide enough to be in the running, but apparently the WBU were experimenting with a 20 point must system in the mid-late 90s, which could potentially have created some spectacularly wide wins...

On Saturday morning a more focused attitude was adopted. The WBU Committee had selected a close contest for their judges to score using the 20 point must system. The judges were split into teams of three with a WBU Fight Commissioner Collating The Scoring.
