Chisora v. Helenius and Lara v. Williams both have to be high up on the list. I'm referring to highway robberies here, not close, but ultimately wrong decisions. What other fights were horrible decisions?

Chisora v Helenius stands above all others. Ive yet to see anyone who didnt have Chisora winning, now thats a robbery.
For me the other big one this year is Macklin v Sturm. But im gona have to bow down on it cos there is a section of people that think Sturm won. From my point of view I really REALLY cant see how, it was a very clear win for Macklin (9-3 for me).
At the end of the day though it can only truly be called a true robbery if basically no one agrees with the decision, so on those terms, Macklin doesnt count (even if I think it should).
For me Lara shouldnt be included, I thought that was a close enough fight to not be a robbery, there were swing rounds in there. Dont get me wrong I had Lara winning 7-5 but for me thats not a robbery, just a bad very unlucky decision.
There was another really bad one, but not that many people probably saw it. It was Jamie Cox vs Obodai Sai. Cox got a UD but no one had him winning and he landed a sick amount of low blows so could have been DQ'd as well. Check it out if you dont know it.
Chisora definitely fits the bill perfectly however.
Helenius - Chisora is by far the worst. Lara - Williams was pretty bad too.
I'm banning the first person who says Marquez - Pacquiao.

Then for the sake of boxing, and in recognition of the master class in anticipating your opponent and demonstrating how to legitimately dismantle a seemingly flawless superstar, I am willing to fall on my sword.Quote:

Meh
Marquez - Pacquiao
I saw the cox fight and yeah it was a bad decision
Im not sure th macklin fight was a robbery, i thought macklin won but i can understand people leaning towards sturm in the later rounds
It was maybe a dubious decision
Pac v marquez wasnt a robbery tho ;D no chance

Chisora/Helenius, Lara/Williams, Marquez/Pacquiao 3, Sturm/Macklin were all pretty bad decisions IMO
