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.
Chisora - Helenius by far the worst
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

Yup, Marquez Pacquiao 3 was horrible. Even more so because it was a high profile fight that puts boxing in the public eye. Therefore, the winner of worst robbery 2011 is....
Marquez vs Pacquaio 3
Don't let the credit get to your head, boy. Wouldn't want to put you in your place for like the what? 9000 time?Quote:

You're obviously a true bitness man.

:lol:
Jamie cox fight!fucking shocking decision.cox should hav dq'd 2 or 3 times.not a very high profile fight but wos embarrassed hearing the result.
I thought prescott deserved to beat Mclosky
and amirs decision to face peterson in DC
I do take myself seriously. It's just the way I am. I can't be like you. I can't accept and look at myself as a joke the way you look at yourself. Whatever works for youQuote:

I didn't just say you took yourself seriously... I said TOO seriously, come on... It's only a 3 letter word. T-O-O
When you talk about bad decisions Marquez vs Pacquiao immediately comes to mind.
Chisora vs Helenius was terrible. Sturm/Macklin, Matthysse/Alexander and ChavezJr/Zbik were suspect.
Tom Dallas had an absolute gift against Zack Page, it was an even lower key fight than the Cox fight already mentioned. Frank Maloney even said in the post fight interview they were lucky. Justice was restored when Dallas was smashed by Price in his next fight. I dont think he was ready for it and probably hadn't been training hard I think it was more a case of Dallas saving the show for Maloney as payback for a dodgy decision.
Yeah, the Mclosky decision was terrible and fooked up any chance of a Prescott v Khan rematch.Quote:
