    I thought Edison deserved the call without all the deductions. I haven't watched it for a while but always had AA losing, sans the ref.

He could have been the first to defeat Pavlik if it wasn;t for politics and the rule of "The undefeated fighter gets the nod in close fights
      .

      Calzaghe supposedly lost to Hopkins(I don't think so but a lot of people thought he did). A lot of people still, to this day, thought Mayweather lost the first Castillo fight. Several people thought Jones lost the first Tarver fight(which would have been his first official loss if he did lose).

      It's just something we have t deal with in Boxing until something really strict happens.
      Good post. I had Taylor beating Pavlik too.

        I already spoke on this but once again, isnt it illegal for a ref to tell a corner they would lose by tko if they quit.

          I thought Miranda beat Abraham the first fight also. Taylor had a unfair point deducted from his when he fought Abraham also. I thought Abraham was down on points going into round 12 with Taylor. Abraham if i remember right did not do much for over half the fight.

            That was one of the most awesomely bad things I've ever seen in my life. I got to make a gif of that.

                It was just so ****ed up how the doctor said Abraham could not continue and even Abraham wanted to stop. Then they find out they lose by TKO and all of a sudden everyone changes their minds. You know you are in trouble when the ringside doctor is cheering you on screaming 'You can do it!'

                Only in Germany.......

                  This.

                  But when you lose 5 pts to fouls, you can't expect to win a decision.

                    Indeed.

                    There are so many instances of disgraceful things happening in events in Germany that there has got to be serious grounds for not allowing that country to host world title fights.

                      Miranda was robbed in every way possible in the first fight, and check my favorite fighters list. I just can't lie about what I saw...
