It wasn't as bad as people are making out, somewhat questionable yes but not an absolute travesty of justice

There has been and will once again be far more disgusting decisions than that one.

I've just watched the fight. I had it 10 rounds to 2 to Pac. That is without doubt the worst Vegas robbery in years. A disgrace. I'm not even a Pacquiao fan either.

It was quite probably the worst decision I've seen. I'm struggling to think of another, not even a couple of Holyfield fights.

Ottke-Reid is the high water mark of shocking decisions

Haven't seen that. Is the fight good enough to persevere with?

It is in the sense that a British fighter gives a good beating to a German in his own gaff. However I think the Pac decsion is worse. De La Hoya-Trinidad was bad as was Lewis-Holyfield 1. Chavez-Whittaker was bad as well.
