Chavez/Whitaker was one of the biggest robberies in boxing history. He whupped Julio’s ass that night. All the fans knew it and even Chavez’s own corner knew it too.
Unfortunately, ring generalship is no longer a criteria in boxing these days. Any fighter who attempts to box judges see it as running or disengaging.
They will often score a fight for the aggressor no matter how ineffective his aggression is. Willie Pep, perfected that stick and move style. However, since Leonard/Hagler.
Boxing judges tend to detest that style. It doesn’t matter how many clean punches a stick and move boxer lands either. If he is fighting off the back foot. More times than not he would not win the fight.
Examples of these are: De La Hoya vs Trinidad and Bivol vs Beterbiev.
