Carl Froch vs Andre Dirrell as robbery of the year ? come on fellas i admit i thought Andre Dirrell won, but only by 2 rounds at the most, it was mostly an ugly fight and Andre Dirrell should of pressed more, especially when he had Carl Froch gone at one point in the later rounds.

Joan Guzman vs Ali Funeka is a pure robbery, it was no worse than 8-4 for Ali Funeka, and Mike Arnaoutis vs Tim Coleman deserves a mention aswell.

When I voted for Froch vs Dirrell as Robbery of the Year, it wasn't that it was the fight with the score disparities farthest from the truth, there were OBVIOUSLY much worse robberies in that respect. It was, however, at a very high level of the sport. It was also in round 1 of the Super Six, a very prestigious tournament; thus it sets the bar low for judging in the remainder of the tournament. IMO, Dirrell obviously won that fight. I don't have any idea how Froch fans can defend that win.
I thought we were just voting here. Not having to defend every one of our nominations
EDIT: While I stand by the fact that the Dirrell/Froch fight was an absolute robbery, due to the reminder of Martinez/Cintron (where Martinez was actually robbed TWICE in that fight), I'll have to go with that.
