Worst robbery you've ever seen?

[Medved]

Sven Ottke has the judges in his pocket every fight, what was the fight where the opponent had like 10 points taken away for NOTHING because Ottke needed points to win?

I gotta say, Funeka - Guzman was a trainway robbery and the rematch was a JOKE, dude came in 2 weight divisions heavier and still got a chance to fight and won (way to go not cutting weight and coming like 15 lb heavier). Dude got robbed 2 fights in a row, dont know how they let him fight like that? Came in 2 weight classes heavier and still got a fight but "not for the title". What a JOKE FIGHTER, hope he breaks his legs.

That Russian dude on FNF in the desert who got a gift decision Ishamunov(some Kavkazi kid) vs Campillo?

Kotelnik-Alexander. Don King fix was in, both fights on this card were 116-112 across the board when they shouldve been alot diff. Dont know why Kotelnik even came to usa, I think they have crappy food in europe also. Suprised he didnt get shot in that s*hole they call the big "L" stands for Loser from my impression last time I drove by that s&hole.

Jimmy Young - Muhammad Ali is one of the worst, took my time out to score this fight a week or 2 ago and had it 13-2 for Young and it could well be 14-1.
Ali got the UD.

The Alexander.Konetick was a close fight fight that went to the sponsored guy. It ****** but its not the worse I have seen.
The Hagler-Leonard was one I remember. Don King along has more than a dozen of those.

One of the worse I remember both Guillermo Jones vs Boudouani fights. The 1st one was so clear and even the public booed the announcement.
How can I forget Jones screaming to the camera: They thief the fight (X3) (funny sht)

Kotelnik/Alexander gets my vote.

Kotelnik DOMINATED Alexander

Alexander was hitting gloves and air all night. He BARELY landed any clean punches.

Kotelnik controlled the fight, he was the elusive aggressor from start to finish, he landed more punches and was landing the harder, cleaner, more accurate, more effective punches.

118-110 or 117-111 for Kotelnik

That was the worst robbery I have ever seen.

Russ Anber: Winning in America against American fighters is difficult

As I started to write this blog about the upcoming WBC world light-heavyweight title fight between world champion Jean Pascal and undefeated contender "Bad" Chad Dawson, the Don King promoted "Gateway to Greatness" card was about to begin live on HBO.

Headlining the attractive card was undefeated IBF and WBC light-welterweight champion Devon Alexander putting his title on the line against former champion and the 2000 Olympic silver medalist, Andriy Kotelnick.

Alexander was coming off an impressive eight round stoppage of durable war horse, Juan Urango, while Kotelnik was looking to erase the memory of his one-sided loss to Amir Khan in their meeting one year ago.

This was a good looking card, but in my mind it would still receive second billing to the Pascal-Dawson preview, which I was about to start writing.

All that would change, however, when three American judges; Jerry Roth, Oren Shellenberger and Denny Nelson who were either myopic, incompetent or just plain corrupt, offered up three identical scores of 116-112 in favour of the defending champion Devon Alexander. Add to that the even more ridiculous scorecard of HBO's "unofficial scorekeeper" Harold Lederman, and you have what might be one the most blatantly biased decisions rendered in an American ring in recent memory.

Before we go any further, I would like to start off by giving Devon Alexander an A+ for effort, as he showed a lot of heart in trying to turn around a fight which began slipping away as early as the second round. More importantly, however, I have to give Kotelnik credit for a masterful, surgical performance as he dominated Alexander with clean hard punches and pin point accuracy.

While it is true that Alexander was often the busier of the two, Kotelnik was clearly the aggressor and definitely the more accurate puncher. Alexander missed the target so often he looked like he was shadow boxing for the better part of the 12 rounds against the elusive Kotelnik. With hands held high, Kotelnik constantly stalked the fleet-footed Alexander and made him pay dearly every time Alexander missed. The Kotelnik right hand was a thing of beauty, and the fluidity of his punches were truly something to behold.

While there are many things which have changed in the sport over the last 10-15 years, perhaps the biggest change has been the emergence of world class fighters from the former Soviet bloc and other countries, who in the past never quite figured into the pro boxing landscape. Much like the heavyweight division, America is quickly losing the stranglehold it once held on the sport. While still a power, it is evident that more and more world champions are being reared in places on the planet other than the U.S. or Latin countries, and this is not making U.S. television very happy.

In the end of what was a brilliant contest, a new champion should have been crowned Saturday night in St. Louis. Instead, the sport of boxing now sports another black eye. Three judges, who should know better, rendered a decision which by all circumstances can be construed as nothing but bias and pro-American.

Is it merely a coincidence that such a horrific decision, robbing Andriy Kotelnik of a world title, comes at a time when negotiations are ongoing between Devon Alexander and Timothy Bradley for a showdown in January on HBO?

Please, don't ever let me hear another American media member, promoter, boxer, manager, trainer or anyone else for that matter EVER criticize again, how impossible it is for an American to win on Canadian or European soil. On Saturday night, three American judges proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that winning in America against an American fighter, especially one who has a TV contract, is becoming increasingly more difficult. Ask Kotelinik, or for that matter, ask Simon Brown!

Oh, Simon Brown! Please don't get me started again!!!!

danny williams vs mcdermot (something like that) was a joke...

i do agree on the kotelnik/alexander fight. at best it was 118-110, kotelnik probably won every round
