I vaguely remember DLH admitting he was lucky against Sturm right after the scorecards came through. Not 100% sure about that, though.
Has a fighter who won ever admitted a decision was questionable?

Thats a good point.i don't think that's ever happened. not right away in the post fight interview, anyway. although it's an honorable thing to do, i think it's a bad career move because not only are you admitting a loss, you're also making new enemies by calling out the judges. the boxer is really backed into a corner in this situation so the best thing to do is not admit victory or defeat and accept a possible rematch when asked.Comment

The worst example has to be Casamayor celebrating after getting the nod against Santa Cruz, there was no shame in his game after that horrible highway robbery. When Holyfield clearly got the gift draw against Lennox he was just saying "If the judges score it a draw it's a draw" he did ***** about getting the short end against Valuev though.Comment

No way... He said that everything went wrong, but he still thought he won the fight.
I do remember Taylor being really classy after he got KO'd by Pavlik, saying that he didn't agree with the judges and he thought he was losing the fight when it was stopped.Comment
