Lets all be honest. This wasn't a robbery. It was a close fight that more people thought Marquez won.

Judges-more often give the benefit of the doubt to the bigger name fighter (or hometown fighter in those scenarios). That is the nature of the sport.

While some judges reward aggression, that aggression isn't often rewarded against the bigger name fighter or hometown fighter.

Every time there is a decision and a fight is close (even between two prospects), I ask who is the bigger name (or hometown fighter). If you answer that question then a reasonably high % of the time you will pick the correct winner as that fighter will get the close decision.
