Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor: I Watched It Back, I Won a Very Close Fight, I'd Do Rematch at 147

The only four true "robberies" I've ever witnessed...and I mean TRUE robberies (as far as judges, not refs). This is based on memory so maybe I'm not recalling others.

Williams/Lara. Period. There's no debate. When all three judges get suspended you know there was something wrong.

Pacquiao/Marquez 3. I know the popular is a draw...regardless, there's no way we have Manny winning that fight.

Barrios/Akhmedov. Barrios didn't win that.

Wilder/Fury 1. I know that's controversial, but I'm sorry...under no situation do we see a draw. Fury handled that man even in rounds he got dropped.



Everything else...I might have felt the wrong guy got the hand raised, but they were so close with swing rounds you could feasibly make a case. Like Golovkin/Derevyanchenko.

Yes Williams VS Lara
How about:

De La Hoya beating Felix Sturm. That didn't happen.

Jose Luis Ramirez beating Pernell Whitaker the first time around. Whitaker avenged that robbery.

Lennox Lewis in a Draw with Evander Holyfield first time around. Lewis clearly won and avenged that loss in a rematch.

Pernell Whitaker robbed again against Julio Caesar Chavez.

And incompetent Richard Steele robbed Meldrick Taylor of a victory against Chavez.
