1. Always has been.

Who could forget Roy Jones Jr. getting totally jobbed in 1988?

4. Saw It Yesterday

That guy absolutely killed his opponent. Worse yet, they gave his opponent the ROUND when he knocked the guy down a half-dozen times. He outpunched that guy 8 to 1 in that round, and the judges awarded the other guy the round.

The fix was in.

Actually, no, it's not a shock. It's pretty much always been like that. Sucks.
