    What, did you watch the fight on youtube and read all the comments or something?

    DWeins, I was watching boxing regularly at this time.

    The public perception wasn't that Ike was robbed. It was a close fight and the fans thought it could go either way.

    The public perception means more than when something is said 2 years down the line.

    To this day, I still hear people claim taht Whitaker was robbed against DLH?

    No, no he wasn't. Fans just try to convince themselves that he was. The few fans that Sweet Pea actually has.

      How come in really close fights like Winky/Hopkins, Winky/Taylor, they don't just rule those fights as draws because they're that hard to score. Judges love to **** on Winky

        Well HBO said it was more than a mild surprise, and the crowd was chanting bull****, live, so...

        Make a poll if you like, I have heard of one person that scored it for Forrest other than you.

            Plenty of guys scored it for Forrest.

            Incidentally, I picked Forrest so i may be a little biased.

            Why dont you go do yourself a favour and use the search function and look what people thought at the time.

            I'll take public perception over some BS fantasy talk 2 years later.

              Check the thread started by Bloodshed.

                  Then again, it was a bloodshed thread.

                  Bump a few more.

                    No others have polls (surprisingly), and even if it is a Bloodshed thread, he was only one vote out of the 80+.

                    Sorry dude, I love Vernon, but he lost.

                    And I'm not one to say robbery or change my decision based on what people say. I still firmly believe that Mayweather deserved the decision against Castillo in their first fight, but it could have gone either way. I don't think Forrest-Quartey could have gone either way.

                      Well i do remember me and oldgringo were the only ones that thought Forrest won.

                      either way, I take your point. Maybe I am wrong if 66 people disagree with me.

                      But Ike Quartey still sucks.
