Good call Yimyam. this was the one that came to mind, when I read the title of this thread. I remember watching that fight. You just felt sick for Hollyfield. Just could not believe that the ref would make that call and that the Olympic Committee would stand by it. Felt bad for him for sure.

How was that robbery?

Yeah, I agree. The Russians were over confident but I would not say they were robbed. They just got beat.

I get it, but sports robberies are always in the eye of the beholder.

How about Babe Ruth to the Yankees.....now that was epic theivery

I bet Seattle fans will immediately point to that scam Super Bowl they lost years ago.

Always biased by what teams you support

But in the pros, a lot of them used to get into bed with the mob and throw fights.

Used to??

Yeah, that was rough...Steel was a Don King ref and Chavez was a King fighter. Another robbery, l always thought, was the Ali win or Jimmy Young. That was bad.
