Joe Bugner vs Henry Cooper
After 15 rounds the fight was given to Bugner on a 1/4's margin the slimmest margin at the time that someone could win a fight. Don't know how the scoring works but the cards were

Cooper: 73 1/2
Bugner: 73 3/4

Cooper never fought again.
Made Bugner the most hated fighter in Britian for a long time.
The fight is basically the British version of the Hagler-Leonard decision. Essentially split the British Public down the middle
