    Yeah, one of the really bad ones, pal.

    Most observers believe judges Mickey Vann and Franz Marti were the culprit. They both scored it even, 115-115. The third judge, Jack Woodruff, had it for Whitaker, 115-113.

    Vann was quoted by London's Daily Star after the fight as having said, "I deducted one point from Whitaker for an appalingly low blow in the sixth round. The referee [Joe Cortez] did not issue a formal penalty, but I took the point from him anyway."

    He apparently forgot the limits of the powers of boxing judges.

    He later denied having said anything about deducting the point. The official scorecards show that it was only Vann who scored the 6th 10-9 for Chavez. The two others had it 10-9 for Whitaker.

        bc DLH schooled him. beat that crap out of him. made him look so bad. he out boxed tito in everyway possible. thats how its a robbery. also the RJJ in 88. how does roy win all 3 rounds and even beat the dude so bad the ref gave him a standing 8 count and roy still loses. beyond me. lewis holy 1 that was a robbery as much as i like holy lewis tore him up. DLH mosley 2 was a huge robbery. how they gave that fight to shane was beyond me. ruiz over golota. ruiz was down twice in the fight and really didnt win any rounds but still somehow some way won that fight. not a notible robbery but come on everyone wanted ruiz out of the HW pic bc he has to be the most boring fighter ever so thats a robbery bc that kept him around.
