    Agree on all of those except Abraham-Miranda. I thought once you took the point deductions into account, Abraham took it by about 2 points.

    Figueroa-Augustus - USA.

    In fact about half Emmanuel Augustus career & whichever country he was getting screwed over in at that time.

    Chris John-Marquez - Indonesia

    i agree a bit, but although it was a dirty fight on Miranda's part, i don't think he should of been deducted so much, hence why i feel he would have won anywhere else

    Thing is tho once you give miranda the deducted points he still looses, he didn't loose the fight due to the point deductions, abraham would have won without em.

    dunno how you figure that, cause going by ROUNDS, i had Miranda winning the first fight, the point deductions were what gave the win to Abraham, although it didn't really matter much in the rematch

    It's pretty clear most robberies happen in the USA. But all the fights listed are pretty modern.

    Can anyone name some recent (like the last 25 years) "robberies" of Americans, or USA based fighters, like Glen Johnson, in Europe?

    So far we've only got Holyfield-Big foot.

    You can list all of the robberies and fights that you want to - but we're only talking about high profile fights here...

    Even if America has had twice as many 'robberies'... it's probably had 20 times as many high profile international fights as Germany etc.

    So statistically - just listing the countries in which robberies have happened and tallying them is gash.
