    nice breakdown, certainly not the worst decision ever but Sweet Pea should definitely have had his hand raised. One of the best Welters in the history of the sport

      Chavez won the first two rounds but then couldn't do a thing with Whitaker. That was no draw.

        I remember thinking Whitaker won, but I didn't think it was some insane robbery that Diva was claiming.

          It was an insane robbery. It wasn't even a close fight. Unless you think you can make a case for Chavez winning or even getting a draw.

            I just rewatched and had it an 8-4 fight for Whitaker. An insane robbery would have been 10-2 or 11-1.

              Last time I watched it I had it 9-3 Whitaker. Either way it was clearly a robbery and can't be described as anything other than that. It was not a difficult fight to score.

                  The thing that surprised me when I watched the fight back then was how Whitaker was pounding Chavez's body. Previous to the fight I expected it to go the other way around.

                    Whitaker deserved the win. It was a robbery.

                    The sad thing is Frankie Randall is known as the guy who first beat Chavez, that should be on Sweet Pea's resume.
