What i love most about this is that theres so many different opinions when you watch a fight i love hearing about other ppls scoring, how they scored it and discussing what they had for a score. I m never one to hate on ppl if my decision is different then others ya know. And i find it hard to believe sometimes that ppl complain and get upset about a certain fighter getting robbed. yes it does happen in some cases, but most of the time when this type of controversy hits, its a very tight close fight. Some cases though like Lewis v Holyfield 1, the judges just got it wrong that night. But most of these really close fights can go either way. And lately i really think that its gotten better over the last 3 years from a judging standpoint.

Man youtube is the way to go, sometimes you get bad quality but for the most part the fights are relatively clear, and there are a lot of fights available...just type in a fighters last name and vs...ex Leonard vs.... and yall get a lot of fights most of them will be part1 2, and most got to part 6-7 and with the 15 round fights 8-9. But theres a lot of fight fans on there that post some really good fithts. Someone just posted Tyson holyfield 1 and i was watching it last night...Also both Lewis Holyfield fight and Holyfield Moorer fight are up now.Comment

Freitas-Barrios is a gem a lot of people missed out on. 2003 was a really great for boxing. Toney-Jirov, Lewis-Klitschko, Gatti-Ward III, Freitas-Barrios, then Corrales-Casamayor I
I agree that there are always some fights where robbery is the only way to describe it. Lewis-Holyfield I was one of the worst, but at least it was a DRAW, not a LOSS for Lewis. This was the case when Ben Rabah fought Juan Urango. Ben Rabah won 10 rounds pretty clearly and LOST a unanimous decision. I had Lewis winning 10 rounds against Holyfield, but it can and does get worse.
A good example of a close robbery is Sturm-De La Hoya where Oscar looked to win the first 5 and lose the last 7. 115-113 is a close fight, but this was close AND clear. Sturm was dominating the last half of the fight and really that could be called a robbery.
Enjoy Freitas-Barrios, especially how Barrios deals with the blood LOLComment

Good call about Rabah. I remember watching that fight on ESPN and at the end was in complete shock. THats what happens tho ya know they seen Urango who was destrying guys and thought he was the next big thing and the cagey Rabah got roI figured that. And your right that was clear cut as to who won that fight no question about that one. Goo call again on Toney Jirov, I loved that fight great action and i really thought that both men were gonna fall flat on there face because of the pace they were fighting at Jirov was exhausted and Toney really surged from rounds 9-12 i think i gave him the lst 4 rounds. Im gonna go home and watch that fight i have that one on tape. and you can just tell how great a fight Freitas vs Barrios was just by watching the 1st 2 rounds both men came to fight that nightComment
