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
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.Quote:

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.
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
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 ?Quote:

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.
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.
You could be right thereQuote:

I thought Peterson beat Garcia
tyrone mckenna just received a gift over mohamed mimoune
Froch/Groves 1 . And not a robbery because they got the right verdict in the end, but how can anyone give Canelo the draw against Floyd??
Sergey Kovalev - Andre Ward I
Kovalev clearly won. All 3 judges scored round 10 for Ward - no way Kovalev lost that round.
The first Wilder v Fury fight was a robbery. That fight was 10 rounds to Fury and 2 for Wilder which were the knock downs.
I'm very reluctant to say a fight is robbery. In fact "Robbery" is the most over used term in boxing

When Canelo fought Triple G again again "Robbery !!" Nope. It was a close fight.
I often like to watch fights the next day with the commentary off then you get a more balanced viewpoint because your not as excited and swayed by the commentators
But the fight's I'd say where robberies are
- Roy Jones Olympics
- Casamayor - Santa Cruz
- Pac-Man - Bradley
There are too many people who call fights robberies that weren’t robberies. They are more bad decisions. I say a robbery is where it’s impossible to score the fight for a certain fighter but that fighter wins anyways.
Canelo getting a draw against GGG in their first fight was not a robbery. It was just a bad decision. Scoring a draw for Canelo and Floyd is a robbery because it’s just impossible to claim Canelo won half the rounds.
Yes, it was a robbery. The American judge's card was absurd, he was obviously dishonest.Quote:

I did think the first Kovalev Ward fight was harsh on Kov, again I had him winning but it wasn't as if he beat Ward all around the ring, it wasn't a robbery but I but I thought Kov won quite comfortably.
Nope I disagree, the first fight was a robbery, GGG clearly won the first fight by a country mile, the second one not so much, I still had him winning it but it was by a matter of a point or two and whenever I score a fight that close I don't see how it can be classed as a robbery.Quote:

Callum Smith V John Ryder.
Ryder clearly won that fight.
That was a close fight, robberies are at least 9 rounds to 3.Quote:
