People need to stop crying "robbery" in close fights

[Quinito]

Close fight would automatically mean robbery these days. Its a crying shame.

Good post.

I agree 100%.

Agreed, robbery is the first Lewis v Holyfield, not Cotto v Clottey

Clottey could have fought more aggressive especially when you have for 9 rounds a badly cut Cotto. The fight was close and I personally was astonished how Clottey refused to capitalize on the cut. Cotto had vision problems and couldn't see the right hand all night. I think the heart Cotto showed and the lack of heart or intelligence Clottey showed played a part in the scoring of the judges. Clottey complained every chance he had while Cotto refused to let a very bad cut end the fight. I don't think many fighters would have fought on with that much of a disability. That cut was bad, Cotto fought on, and I think it played a part in the scoring. Not saying Cotto was given the fight because of that but in a close fight something like this plays a factor.

It won't change... One good example is, up to these days, we still hear people crying "robbery" in JMM's fights with PAC... Those were close fights...

If you want to talk about robberies in their career just take a look at Whittaker-Chavez or Whittaker-Delahoya.
