Couple of things like that have happened recently in my HBF dynasty.
1) In a fight between the two Texans Jack Johnson and Cleveland Williams at Houston's Reliant Park Pavilion I had built Williams up to be a heavy crowd favourite in the weeks leading into it and even though Johnson clearly dominated the fight, the scorecards didn't reflect it. He won the decision but not by as much as he should have, which gives the impression that the judges were influenced by the pro-Williams crowd.
2) Boston's Jack Sharkey is expected to do well in the World Championship tournament but has struggled to a 2-2-1 record in his first five fights. I wrote up a news story reporting him being arrested for public intoxication two weeks before a must win fight against Oscar Bonavena. What does he do in the fight? He decimates Bonavena, winning every round and landing a HBF record 268 punches in the six round fight.
It's nice when these things happen.
