      I don't think these guys should concede in some way if they won the fight but think they lost. What about all the times when guys think they won fights but didn't get the decision, nothing is changed either way. Boxing is very corrupt and the big promoters make too much money so why would they want to see it changed?

        I personally have no idea why. I scored the fight for byrd by at least 2 rounds. Oquendo ran like a byotch rounds 8-12. People were just hungry for Byrd to lose.

        Oquendo never did enough to decisevly take his title away.

          Corrales is a big whiner after he loses, at least from what I've seen. He gets that wounded baby look on his face.

            You were part of the decided minority, including myself and the entire HBO commentary team. That fight often comes up on BoxingScene's robbery threads...

                How much more respect would you have had for DLH if he'd gone "I know I can do bet-er.... in fact, I did crap and I lost to Sturm."?

                What about if Scott Harrison had turned round after the Victor Polo fight and went "I dinnae wee los' to ma man ye ken lad tha noos." Everyone would have said "I really respect that honesty." Actually, everyone would have probably said "What did he say? Can we get subtitles?" but the principle is there...
                Well DLH all but admited he lost right after the fight, he was like "I dont know what happened" he said he was disappointed and all,but yeah he didnt actually say "i lost"

                  Big punchers are willing to take a little more punishment when they are losing because they know that they can win the fight with one punch.

                  In both of Corrales' losses, he felt he could have won if the fight went a little longer.

                  With Mayweather, he was swinging too hard and was missing PBF by a mile, but he felt that if he connected he could get back into the fight even though he had been knocked down a couple million times.

                  Against Casamayor on the undercard of Toney-Holyfeild, Corrales was also on the floor a couple of times, but he got up and was killing Casa at the end of the round to the point where the fight was almost stopped and in between rounds Margret Goodman stopped the fight because his mouth was bleeding pretty bad. Corrales kept saying "One more round", and had a right to be upset.

                    Castillo should of said "Casamayor treated me like his child"
                    Bryd "Oquendo beat me"
                    Oscar "I ran, he won (Tito), I lost"

                      some fighters dont admit it at the time they lose, its difficult to feel that you lost, mostly in a close fight, but later some of them do admit it, pacquiao anybody? he did dissapoint me with those weak excuses..
