Has An Afro American Ever Lost A Close Decision In High Profile Fight?

[HeadShots]

Ok, how about Bernard Hopkins. He lost a close decision in America against Joe Calzaghe in a fight many people thought he won.

that's 1 against 20 so far.

[Dodger07]

Pernell Whitaker, Bernard Hopkins, and Winky Wright lost or had draws in a couple of fights that could've/should've gone their way.

Danny Jacobs lost a close decision to GGG

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

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.

Shane clearly beat Oscar in a close fight first time. Second was questionable.

[Songbird]

it's especially true in America.


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.

I 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

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

therefore, Kov was robbed twice by the Afro American negro.

it's especially true with the Afro American negro.


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.

I don't want to think it's a racial thing, Clenelo is Irish and he always get unfair decisions, you bigger draw you most likely cheating somehow.

it's not always true.


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.
