This fight was possible the worst decision I have ever seen. Whitaker EASILY won 11 rounds. I cannot see how any reasonable, sane person could view it any differently. I know that things might be different at ringside, in person. But calling the fight even?! Even if one were extremely generous to Chavez, I just don't see how he could get more than 3 rounds. A Chavez win just seems impossible to put together.

I'll never forget Don King after the fight saying "I kinda thought Julio had the edge".

I can't believe anyone took the time to post this. Everybody knows that Whitaker clearly won the fight. I believe I gave Chavez the first 2 rounds. Then it appeared Whitaker got set in his rhythm, a rhythm that Chavez to not solve or keep up with.

I rewatched this fight last night. I gave 3 rounds to JCC. Sweet Pea was outstanding!

This was in no way a controversial fight. It was controversial at the time but historians are unanimous that it was a clear and easy win for Whitaker. No controversy there.
