worst decision ever?

[Chet]

For recent history. Andrew Golota against Chris Byrd and John Ruiz.

Pac - Marquez, eventhough I thought JMM won. The fact that the judge by his own admission... Dropped the ball and didn't subtract a point. Pac should've really won the fight.

In regards to the question this thread asks,

I'd have to go with Emanuel Augustus vs Courtney Butron.

One judge had it 99-90 for Burton, and Augustus had clearly won about 9 rounds to 1. An idiot couldn't have scored that fight for Burton, yet two of the judges gave it to him, one as a shut out.

It was in Michigan, and on Friday night fights Teddy Atlas went balastic. He was cussing out people from the Michigan state Athletic commission, and the fights met with protest and disgust at the venue and across the boxing world.

I've never seen another fighter almost totally shut out his opponent only to see a shut out score favoring the opponent.

It was unbelieveable, and still makes me sick to think about it.

Good, now I don't have to type out a post, you did it for me. That was the most absurd decision I have ever seen, words can't even convey how BS that was. In fact, it was so BS that at the sound of the 10th round bell, I left the room and went to out to eat dinner rather then listen to the decision. Then a few days later, I was browsing through boxrec, and I saw Augustus lost. I KNEW it was a boxrec mistake since I watched the fight. So I went to the boxrec forums, and said I was sure Augustus won the fight, and they told me he was robbed. Honestly, that was the worst, I've been mad at decisions plenty of times, but I've never been in complete and utter shock and denial. It was surreal.

If a referees decision counts as a decision, I would have to say when the fight was stopped between Meldrick Taylor & Chavez. Just a few more seconds...That hurt, It still hurts till this day. Where would Taylor's career have gone???? Would chavez have continued his feirceness? Poor taylor was ruined after that. Did he take too many punches?

what's the worst decision ever in boxing?
scores by judges?
fighting tactic?

BUMP!!!

2009 - Berto vs Collazo -116 to 111 in favour of Berto

Lot's more where that came from.

Not a robbery. In reality probably should have been scored even but it happens. Dirrell used the wrong gameplan, it was his fight to lose as Froch looked awful.

The two british judges favoured their compatriot. The Mexican judge had it right by giving it to dirrel by one point.

Still I agree with you, it should have been even.

But it would be hard to score it even when it's a 6 man tournament, you either win or lose.

[Dambala]

1-Whitaker /Chavez
2-Cassamayor / Santa-Cruz
3-Holifield / Lewis
4-Griffin / Toney 1 and 2

And almost every fight Doug Tucker has scored.
