I remember this very distinctly, I wasn't very old and this was the first fight that I saw how crooked boxing can be. From the fight to the newspapers after, I couldn't believe Whitaker got robbed. He fought a great fight, and this would have gotten the big exposure that he deserved. Shit went downhill after this, but Pernell outboxed a great fighter, the decision was just horrible.
Great fight! Terrible decision. The kind of shit that makes boxing lose fans. My dude Sweat Pea took this shit pretty clearly. I guess somebody powerful didnt wanna see Chavez get his first loss.

That one was bullshit too, but not nearly on the same level as this fight.
