I just rewatched both of those fights and the Whitaker fight was closer than I thought. I still believe Whitaker won with his ring generalship and elusiveness. And I forgot all about the pt Mills Lane took for the head butt from Whitaker which was cleary a accident. But the Quartey fight was absolutely robbery!! Quartey pretty much dominated the whole fight, i can't see how judges had it 116-113 and 116-112, WTF!!! Quartey won that 8 rds to 4, but the knockdown in the 12th had him only winning by a point in my opinion.

Word to the wise, if you have a fighter winning by a point and the decision goes the other way it cannot be called a robbery in terms of the decision.I just rewatched both of those fights and the Whitaker fight was closer than I thought.

the term robbery is saved for fights like Whitaker v. Chavez or Randal v. chavez...Quartey v. Oscar was no robbery it was damn close-could have gone either way but robbery...in no way shape or form.Comment

well if you weren't penalized so heavily from Knockdown then I could see your point, but the fact of the matter is that he would have lost by 3 rds if it weren't for that knockdown. It was huge swing in the fight, but I still feel like he was robbed because he was clearly ahead. I think it was a robbery...Word to the wise, if you have a fighter winning by a point and the decision goes the other way it cannot be called a robbery in terms of the decision.

im sorry but that 12th round erased memory of the past 11
oscar blasted quartey, that was an amazing roundComment

i had osacr beating whitaker clearly by points, and i think he pulled the quartey fight in the last round, which i had dead even.... **** if the referee wouldve stopped the figt when quartey was getting hit with clean hooks form both sides, nobody would be whining....Comment

.....by wbc rules he had to take the point away wise guy, blame WBC.....
and he even gave a knockdown to Whitaker when clearly their feet got tangled....Comment

iwould, I would really cry robbery if they stopped that fight. Ike was still throwing punches and landing in that exchange, Oscar was getting the better of it, but he still had some fight left and regained his legs after that. Point is oscar was down 8 rds to 3 or 7 -4 by the 12th and he should have got the L by atleast a pt.Comment
