I've seen some bad ones, but the worst of the bunch has to be Shannon Briggs versus George Foreman.
Foreman battered Briggs from pillar to post for twelve rounds, but two of the judges gave it to Briggs by a four point margin.
The only thing missing that night was the judges wearing masks and carrying guns.
I'm very seldom angry at a decision, but that night I was livid.
Foreman deserved a better exit from the sport than that.

There was no 'long count' in the Dempsey/Tunney fight. Dempsey refused to go to a neutral corner, so the ref held off the count until he did.

People talk about Holyfield/Lewis 1 as if Lewis was the victim of a blatant robbery.
As inactive as Holyfield was during that fight, Lewis didn't do much of anything, either.
I thought Evander won the second fight.

No s**t, Brent.

Brad I agree with you, I saw that fight. Foreman was in control and pounding Briggs. I guess they thought since Briggs survived he deserved the gift.

Evander Holyfield v.s Lennox Lewis 1. Holyfield didn't even land a decent punch through the whole fight and was still given a draw by the judges.

Yes Foreman was clearly robbed as he obviously deserved the verdict in that fight. I was a little upset when Larry Holmes lost the decision to Michael Spinks in their second fight as I felt like Holmes won at least 9 of the rounds, landed the more solid blows, pressed the fight and dominated Spinks. I was no Holmes fan, but I think he deserved the decision.

To me, it's Holyfield vs Lewis 1. I bet a friend Holy' would win. I bet $1 against him (Lewis). After round 12 rang, I just gave him the dollar. When the decision was announced as a draw, he tried to keep my money... TRIED. That worm, I guess you could say Holyfield/Lewis was the undercard that night at that house in my eyes:P

The 1947 Joe Louis Joe Walcott heavy weight title match, where Joe Louis got the decision, Louis won a split decision and was down twice in the fight.When the fight was over, Louis immediately left the ring and thought he had lost, when the decision was given he immediately reentered the ring puzzled.

De la Hoya vs Mosley 2...Oscar easily won that fight. Shane even thought so, watch his reaction when the decision is announced that he won, utter shock and disbelief.
