Wrong decisions by referees is not something very new in the sport of boxing. Here, let's take a look at some of the biggest robberies in the history of boxing.
A score of 115-113 declared Bradley the winner after reading the third card. It was a decision so bad that the mind couldn't fully wrap itself around what had just happened.
The score of 116–113 declared Lewis the winner over Holyfield on March 13, 1999. Later on, Evander Holyfield vs. Lennox Lewis II, billed as Unfinished Business: The Search for the Truth took place on November 13, 1999. Lewis emerged victorious again, settling the dispute once and for all.
Floyd Mayweather’s fabulous unbeaten 50-0 record hides the fact that there is one match many people strongly believe he lost. Both of them stepped into the ring again on December 02, 2002, for a rematch where again Mayweather emerged victoriously.
Everyone, including the showtime commentators, expected Whitaker to have defeated Chavez by the time the final bell rang. Instead, two judges somehow scored the fight 115-115 and Chavez escaped with a draw.
Josh Taylor controversially beat Jack Catterall on February 26, 2022. Taylor walked away with the undisputed super-lightweight title and an undefeated record, leaving Catterall a victim of yet another British ring robbery.
