Robberies?

[SBleeder]

Now Hagler vs Antufermo I was a robbery.

I definitely had Hagler winning, but I don't agree that it was a "robbery". Looking back at my card, I had it 10-4-1 Hagler.

Anifowoshe vs Quiroga

I haven't watched this fight in some time but don't remember it being a robbery. A close, classic and tragic fight is what I remember. Im pretty sure there was no controversy about the scoring.

I thought Anifowoshe won aswell but it as close.

Excellent fight though.

To me it's only a robbery if one guy clearly wins (say 9 rounds in a 12 round fight) and doesn't get the decision. A close fight isn't a robbery.

On that basis I'd take out Armstrong-Ambers (it was close), Calzaghe-Hopkins (I had Calzaghe winning clearly and even those who scored it for Hopkins had it close), Leonard-Hagler (I had Hagler winning but it was very close), Holmes-Spinks (Larry was outhustled and deserved to lose, imo), Ali-Norton II (though I thought Norton clearly won the third), De La Hoya-Mosley II (close again unless you count Mosley being on roids) and Marquez-Pacquaio (I thought Marquez edged it but it wasn't a landslide).

It's hard to say with Louis-Walcott as the full fight isn't extant, although Jersey Joe has the best of the action in what is available. Rivers-Wolgast was a legitimate KO. Wolgast wasn't knocked down as well, he just lost his balance and fell on him.

Pretty clear to me that Akeem won. It was fought in Quiroga's hometown so I guess that may have effected the judging. Anifowoshe to me won hands down
