Biggest Screwjob in Boxing

[Mr. Violence]

I forgot to add Mercer Vs. Lewis to my list.

Every PPV is a damn screwjob. $49.99 plus tax for a lousy card (most which are fixed), plus they get replayed within a week for free. And you losers fall for their gimmicks!

Yeah thats the thing though.. some of the fights are fixed with the judges but they still turn out to be FIGHTS.. this 60 dollar pay per view was one of the most expensive to date, yet.. it wasnt even a fight.. i hate to quote don king cus i dont like him but that was a damn swimming lesson like he said. And Oscar quit by taking the easiest way out and putting on an acting lesson so his stock wouldnt go down.

Yeah, it was one of the most expenisve and most anticipated fights in a long time. It ended up being of the highest grossing ppv's ever. I think it broke records. These poor idiots thought they had a good fight to look foward to while the CEO's and executives had $$ signs in their dilated pupils.

Just read my previous post

Yeah, that's probably one of the most recognizable screwjobs ever. I believe the reason sturm was screwed was to make the upcoming ppv more marketable. It turned out to be a huge grossing PPV, especially with the hispanic community. Imagine what kind of revenue would be generated if it was Hopkins Vs. Sturm. Two fairly unknown names, Especially Strum. Nobody would bother ordering that fight, and the hispanic community wouldn't have gave a **** ass about whos fighting. In fact, they wouldn't have even known there was a ppv going on. So sadly... Yeah, Sturm was screwed over. I understand his discontent.

Here's a small tribute to Sturm

Which rounds in ODLH vs Trinidad were scored 10-8 for Trinidad?

[wissy]

Whitaker vs Chavez
Lewis vs Holyfield

Those were obvious screwjobs as the fighter who dominated hardcore did not get the win. However, don't feel too bad for em, that at least got the draw. The worst i have seen are:

Ottke vs Teddy Reid
Ottke vs Mars Larsen
Ottke vs Byron Mitchell
Tapia vs Medina

These were fights where the WINNER, did not get a win but in fact got a LOSS for their troubles. Ludicrous. Stuff like this kills boxing.

I agree with Wissy's top 2 (lewis vs holyfield, chavez vs. whitaker)...but I HAVE TO thrown in Oquendo's loss to Byrd.

[SweetScience]

Hagler Vs. Leonard (It was close but Hagler still won)

Hagler DID NOT win...Leonard won the fight YES it was close. Watch it again, it's been discussed many times. 115-113

i also scored the fight for ray leonard, in no way was it a robbery.

im wondering have any of you guys seen judah/glen johnson? i had judah winning maybe a round, 2 at best. it was more of a robbery than whitaker/chavez or lewis/holyfield I . daniel judah post fight interview "i thought i lost" LOL

[Klitschko=chicken]

Which rounds in ODLH vs Trinidad were scored 10-8 for Trinidad?

9-12. That's why it was a robbery, DLH clearly won the first 8 and the last 4 had to be scored 10-8 for Tito in order for him to get the decision.

Unless of course some of the judges scored some of the first 8 even which would have been just as absurd as giving Tito 10-8 rounds at the end.
