Wow, that is a horrible decision

[JazMerkin]

People who cried robbery in the Matthysse, Maidana and Kotelnik fights are part of the problem. Those were close fights.

Now when a fight is literally stolen, like tonight? People dismiss it because they've heard the term "robbery" far too often.

I completely agree with this. I'm also wondering what fight Maidana was robbed in

I thought Matthysse won against Judah & lost to Alexander & Kotelnik just nicked it in St. Louis. However, I could see all of those going to the eventual winner & in one case I clearly did.

Tonight was a flat out disgrace & I can't believe there is no more anger over this. It's been a while since I heard the scorecards & genuinely believed for a short while that the announcer has accidentally read out the wrong guy.

Sorry but how the fuck did you have Matthysse WINNING against Judah and LOSING to Alexander ?

He put on a much more impressive performance against Alexander than he did against Judah.

And in my opinion if a fight is close in rounds, but still a CLEAR victory for one fighter and he doesn't get the decision, then its still a robbery.

If a guy clearly wins 7 rounds and there is no doubt about it, no bickering over those 7, and the judges end up giving it to the other guy, especially with a knockdown involved, then that is still a robbery.

Check out that thread & you can read my scorecard

Maybe you felt he was more impressive against Alexander, but I felt they were similar performances (Matthysse not doing enough to quite take rounds for me early & mid) & in the Judah fight, he had two extra rounds to play with, which allowed him to pull out the win for me.

All those fights mentioned had enough close rounds that it could be disputed. I know that you're one of those who sees robberies every week, so you obviously won't agree with it

*Having slept, I came back to this & I will say I agree that if one fighter CLEARLY wins 7 rounds it's a robbery. However, in all those cases mentioned, I think that their were disputable rounds. A fight that I remember thinking one guy clearly won 7 rounds was the first Funeka-Guzman fight.
