worst robbery of recent times
Theres probly been loads of these threads but im not bothered
without really think about it, 2 spring to mind, Burns v Beltram and chisora v helenius
id say the chiz fight was a worse robbery because I though he won 11 of the 12 and lost
where as beltram got away with a draw
Re: worst robbery of recent times
There is ABSOLUTELY no way that Ned Sutton beat James Figg.
I'm still angry about that decision today!

Nicholas Walters "draw" with Jason Sosa was criminal. I think the fix was in and someone wanted to take some shine or push off of the Walters.

I knew there had been one recently but could't remember what fight I was thinking of, that was it. Walters didn't look stellar but probably won every round, about as bad as it gets.
Re: worst robbery of recent times
Worst decision I've seen in recent years was that judge that scored the mayweather vs Canelo fight a draw. I was honestly confused how they had it a draw and surly must have took a bribe from golden boy.

Pacquiao - Bradley I
The 2012 Olympics has some robberies: for example Savon-Joshua and Khrytrov-Ogogo.
One of the worst Olympic robberies I've seen was Ward-Haydarov in the 2004 semi-finals at light heavyweight. Ward was knocked down and had to desperately clinch to survive. The judges awarded him some of his points without him even throwing a punch.
Re: worst robbery of recent times
any journeyman robberies that you can think of
like a prospect fights a journeyman, expected to win and should really have been beaten
I remember Tom Dallas fighting Zak Page (I think he was called) and losing badly but winning
Re: worst robbery of recent times
The first Groves Froch fight, absolutely disgraceful stoppage. Froch made £8M from the rematch and it should have gone to Groves.

What about fury v mcdermott one ?
Re: worst robbery of recent times
I believe Fury was robbed of a near flawless victory against Wlad.
The contest was not even close 10 rounds to 2 if it was held in any other country.
Re: worst robbery of recent times
Jamie Cox win over Obodai Sai was an absolute shocker. Id backed Sai at fancy prices that night and was so discusted I sent an angry letter to the BBBoC. Think I had Said wiining 10-2 or 9-3 and Coz also had 2 points taken off him and still managed to win.

So you washed it then? Yes, not a great advert for heavyweight boxing.
