Just was watching some youtube videos of the old froch vs ward fight and remembered the dirrell froch robbery which is not talked about enough imo. what are some other robberies that are not talked about enough?
heres a few of mine
Direll vs Froch
blatant robbery, direll gave froch a boxing lesson. froch looked silly at times. i knew he had no chance against ward
Valuev vs Holyfield
a shitty fight, but valuev literally threw nothing. atleast holyfield threw punches.
Pacquiao vs bradley
i clearly remember that pacquiao outlanded bradley atleast in 8-10 rounds and landed 100 more in general.
Foreman vs briggs
what a shame, all i can remember is foreman punching briggs all over the ring hurting him multiple times...foreman would have been a 3 time world champion and at 46...
what are some of yours?
Damn, so many to name sadly lol. Some not so mentioned ones.
De La Hoya-Sturm
Broner-Ponce De Leon
Toney-Tiberi
Williams-Lara
Casamayor-Santa Cruz
Danny Garcia-Herrera
Ward vs Kovalev I. Didn't they give Ward 6 straight close rounds? What made it worse was they took the guy's title.
Another bad one was Golovkin vs Alvarez I, but art least it was a Draw so G kept his title.
Round 10 wasn't even close they just didn't care.

I remember a very boring fight of Brandon Rios vs some unknown cuban guy called Richard April
April was one of those awkward, boring defensive fighters who are frustrating to watch, with lots of clinching and spoiling tactics
Rios barely landed anything the whole fight, April nullified his entire offense and clearly landed more, but he still got robbed on the cards and Rios won
and nobody complained because like I said, April was boring af
Think it's pretty hard to call Pac-Bradley a 'forgotten' robbery, but agree on Dirrell-Froch. Another one that comes to mind was Alexander-Kotelnik in '10. Only thing worse than the decision was HBO's commentary trying to justify it.
that was embarrassing
especially devon calling out bradley with a U Next after getting his ass kicked
cherry on top was floyd in the interview saying kotelnik won lol
Murata vs Ndam and Williams vs Lara are two huge ones
Yeah Williams and Lara was huge! Lara beat his ass from pillar to post!
Erislandy Lara is one of my fav guys and Its not unusual for Lara to F someone up but that scoring was pathetic!
Ggg vs Canelo 2
just because a fighter pumps a jab moving backward. doesn’t mean he is losing. Especially when it’s landing.
but he said Mexican style doe
Is not a scoring criteria
it was a close fight so i wouldn't say its a robbery. first fight was definitely
