Last one I can think of is Whitaker got robbed on a draw vs JCC though that was longer than twenty years ago.

Danny Jacobs lost a close decision to GGG
Whitaker didn't get robbed in the last 20 years though. we can't go back too far cus then we'll have robberies in the 50's and 60's for sure.
For the last 20 years. it's very rare.
Except, the GGG Jacobs fight wasn't really close though. If it was Jacobs with the KD, then yes. but No.

I have never seen such a robbery as Kovalev/Ward 2. That is the same exact same scenerio as Bowe/Golota.
with 2 completely different outcomes to favor the Afro American.
In 2 the ref was totally biased or incompetent or both but you know if kov did manage to win 2 he would have been robbed by the judges anyway lolz

Originally posted by Songbird View PostI thought ward/kov1 was the bigger robbery. In 2 if ward had fought fair i think he was the better man on the night but 1 he definitely was not and was dropped too, oh dear

De La Hoya and Mosley are both Americans, aren't they? DLH was also the bigger draw.
Yet and still MOsley nicked him both times.
Same with Trinidad.

Mosley vs DLH 1
Mosley vs DLH 2
Trinidad vs DLH
The lesser draw won in those fights in close decisions. the only common denominator is that boxing loves Afro AMerican fighters in the last 20 years.
