    Pretty simple answers to this one

    - Holyfield-Lewis given how big the fight was. It was for the undisputed heavyweight championship! Lewis wins at the very least 9 rounds and gets a draw. Unbelievable.

    - Ben Rabah-Urango was very bad, but not many people saw this fight on ESPN. Ben Rabah wins 9-10 rounds and LOSES by a unanimous decision!

    - Casamayor-Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz won at least 9-10 rounds, even scored a knockdown, and somehow lost by I think it was a split decision. Just disgusting.

    - De La Hoya-Trinidad was a total joke. Oscar wins at least 8 rounds and loses by majority decision because he "ran" in the last rounds. What, do those rounds count as double the points now? Tito got owned that night.

    - De La Hoya-Mosley II. Oscar was on the receiving end of this one as he pretty much boxed Mosley's ears off, winning 8-9 rounds, yet losing by unanimous decision.

    - Sturm-De La Hoya. This is one of the easiest fights to score in the world. Oscar wins the first 4-5 rounds and loses the rest, but they give it to Oscar to save the big fight with Hopkins. Sturm never took on a good opponent since.

    - Chavez-Whitaker. Come on, man, Whitaker made him look ******. No way was that a draw.

    Those are the first that come to mind. Somebody mentioned Foreman-Briggs. Yeah, Foreman deserved to win, but it was about 7 rounds to 5, so it wasn't a huge robbery. It was just that HBO loved George and well nobody loved Briggs at all.

    Robberies within the last year: Valuev-Holyfield, Funeka-Guzman, Froch-Dirrell, all very blatant.

      1. Sven Ottke vs Robin Reid - Reid wins at least 8 rounds and gets a knockdown (which they somehow ruled a slip) and yet Ottke escapes with a unanimous decision. Everyone in the arena knew that Reid won the fight.

      2. Gabriel Campillo vs Beibut Shumenov - Campillo outhustled, outworked and basically beat up Shumenov every round. I scored it 118-110 for Campillo but somehow Shumenov got a criminal split decision and Campillo's title with it!

      3. Oscar De La Hoya vs Felix Sturm - De La Hoya did well in the first couple of rounds but after that Sturm just went to work on him. Busting him up with jabs and right hands. Some people thought this was a closer fight but I scored it 117-111 for Sturm. He clearly won that fight and convincingly, but they gave it to De La Hoya to save a superfight with Bernard Hopkins.

            Holding up a mega fight because you can't believe someone can actually be that good so you ask your potential opponent to take unnecessary tests.

              The reason it was is because of the way it went down. Al most everybody had ODLH winning the 1st 4 rds and one judge had given 3 of 4 to Tito. The same judge, realizing how far ahead he had Tito because of his bias judging actually gave DLH the 12th rd. A bit of a robbery.

                      I dont think you know the meaning of "ROBBED"

                      It means the fighter CLEARLY won by alot and still lost...

                      Pretty much every fight you mentioned was a close fight in which either fighter could have won...
