worst decisions in world title fights

[unclepaulie]

Some of the ones that immediatley ome to mind are Trindad-DeLaHoya, Whitaker-DeLaHoya, Peter-Toney 1 (I know it was an eliminator, but the wide margins on the sorecards for Peter was ridiculous) Mayweather-Castillo 1, Tarver-Jones 1, and Wright Taylor, even with Wright slacking the last round. What do you all have to say?

[BigReg]

Personally, the only one of those decisions that I thought was bad was the Peter-Toney I fight.

Tarver Jones 1? Lol that was such a fucking clear fight for Jones.

[stuistylee]

fenech-nelson 1...

[He Hate Me]

dela hoya vs sturm.

[ozziebattler]

Have you people forgotten Taylor vs Chavez???

[kg0208]

Have you people forgotten Taylor vs Chavez???

By the rules, that was a fair stoppage.

[BigReg]

Have you people forgotten Taylor vs Chavez???

By decisions, he means fights that went to the scorecards. That fight didn't go to the scorecards.

[sues2nd]

Whitaker - Ramirez anybody? Maybe the worst pro decision EVER (Jones in the olympics being the worst)! I mean, you could easier argue a shutout win for Pernell than you could a win for Ramirez.

That's the one!!

[shelterr]

Whitaker-Ramirez, Hagler-Antuofermo, DLH-Sturm

[brooklyn1550]

Tyrone Everett vs. Alfredo Escalera
Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Pernell Whitaker
Jose Luis Ramirez vs. Pernell Whitaker
Elena Reid vs. Regina Halmich

And Gatsby, I don't think Taylor-Wright, Peter-Toney 1, Tarver-Jones 1, Whitaker-De La Hoya, and Mayweather-Castillo were terrible robberies. All of those fights could have gone either way. De La Hoya-Trinidad, in my opinion, was a bad decision, but not one of the worst robberies of all time.

[Robot16]

Also Rabah Vs juan urango.

yea i may have exagerated wth worst, but they were all bad decisions in my eyes

[KayEpps]

Holyfield vs. Lewis 1.

This almost made me hate boxing!

Tyrone Everett vs. Alfredo Escalera
Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Pernell Whitaker

Sad thing is....there are still idiots on here that think Ramirez and Chavez won (well, I seriously dont think any of them have seen the fights...and they refuse to post round by rounds...FURTHER proving my point).

Most of those weren't bad decisions IMO.

[Decker]

Holyfield vs. Lewis 1.

This almost made me hate boxing! Yeah, that was awful... :barf worse than Ali-Norton III.

[nrgetic]

I backed Toney in Toney vs Peter I so I am biased particularly given I would have won $38k had Toney got the decision

[SteveO]

Foreman v. Briggs. I heard that was theft.

[brooklyn1550]

(cough) guerrerosoul (cough)

[Thread Stealer]

Naturally, I knew non-robberies (just close fights that could've gone either way) would be mentioned, such as DLH-Whitaker, Jones-Tarver 1 and Mayweather-Castillo 1.

Get the fuck outta here with Jones-Tarver 1. Tarver spent too many rounds in the middle of the ring doing jack shit, waiting and staring, leary of Jones's bodywork. That's got to be one of the most exaggerated "controversial" decisions ever.

Here are some REAL robberies:

Escalera-Everett
Nelson-Fenech 1
Lewis-Holyfield 1
Briggs-Foreman
M. Spinks-Holmes 2

[jhb123]

i don't know about robbery, but I thought these weren't good decisions:
Mosley vs. De La Hoya II
De La Hoya vs. Ike Quartey
Leonard vs. Hearns II
Barrera vs. Morales I

tapia v medina
whitaker v chavez
sturm v dlh

on versus 2 months ago kid diamond got his ass kicked by some mexican fighter. cant remember his name. diamond got the nod anyway.

[Andrey]

The one that MADE ME SEVERELY PISSED OFF, was

Sturm vs. De La Hoya- I had it 11 rounds to 1. 4th round slightly in favor to De La Hoya.
And I was very generous to the golden boy.

[Jose FM]

Castillo- Mayweather was one of the worst...

[box03]

Holyfield vs. Lewis 1.

This almost made me hate boxing! That was a bad break, but I had the 2nd fight a draw between them so I guess it all worked out right.

[andyZOR]

Golota v Byrd
Golota v Ruiz

What a joke.

[box03]

Golota v Byrd
Golota v Ruiz

What a joke. Golota/Ruiz was a very sloppy fight, then again what Ruiz fight isnt. I think Ruiz was knocked down twice in that match too, I thought Ruiz lost that one also. Stoney his manager is a funny ass dude, hes always yelling about something.

Yes twice. And Normy got kicked out of Ruiz's corner.

[Robbi]

Castillo- Mayweather was one of the worst...

Can't mind how I scored the fight, but I did watch the first 5 rounds a while back and Mayweather won them all. He was only flicking out the jab, but Castillo was connecting with nothing. Castillo was ineffective with his aggression, maybe an understatment.


I did score the fight for Mayweather, not sure exactly how I had it.

[kg0208]

Castillo- Mayweather was one of the worst...

That fight was close and a case could be made either way.

[box03]

Yes twice. And Normy got kicked out of Ruiz's corner. Yeah I remember they showed him sitting in the dressing room watching the fight, that was pretty funny. Didnt stoney get decked by Valuevs cornerman in the ring when they fought?

Saw that fight. That was truly god-awful. I felt terrible for that guy. Here he comes out clearly the underdog, works his ass off to a clear victory, and loses anyway.

[Zakman]

For sheer volume of bad decisions, the prize has to go to Jermaine Taylor.

HBO, the gift that keeps on giving!

How did I know you were going to post this (either you or Am...:lol: ).

Im not sure. I didn't watch the fight, only highlights of rounds. BUT, I wouldn't doubt if he did. I remmeber when Golota's trainer (Colona) pushed Normy and he got pist, hehehe.

[Robot16]

What were the odds?
Was this with the TAB?

[box03]

Im not sure. I didn't watch the fight, only highlights of rounds. BUT, I wouldn't doubt if he did. I remmeber when Golota's trainer (Colona) pushed Normy and he got pist, hehehe. The man definitely has issues, if only Ruiz could put a good show on like him.

Was this part of an all up bet??? $38k is a lot of money

Indeed, hah.

[doom bull]

Recently, Kid Diamond vs. Huerta. Bullshit.

[Amsterdam]

How did I know you were going to post this (either you or Am...:lol: ).

I've become more crafty with Taylor criticism than just pointing out his dubious 'wins'.

I am also very tired of seeing Dlh-Trinidad as a 'robbery'. I scored the fight a draw and a close Trinidad win was acceptable. I suppose if you keep repeating something enough, which DLH and his promotional outfit did, people will accept it as fact.

Hey, why else do I keep a semi-agenda at all times.:D

[nrgetic]

There are so many I dunno where to start.

DLH-Mayweather immediately comes to mind though. :hat

???? What was wrong with that decision?

[slim]

reid v ottke

[TBooze]

Whitaker - Ramirez anybody? Maybe the worst pro decision EVER (Jones in the olympics being the worst)! I mean, you could easier argue a shutout win for Pernell than you could a win for Ramirez.

I presume you are talking of the first fight; Whitaker was robbed and the fight may not of been on the level, but it was not a shutout, Ramirez won three rounds, possibly four as Whitaker took it easy late on.

The worse of the modern era was probably Everett/Escalera ;that fight was probably fixed as was possibly Coggi/GonzalesI
