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.
I'm not sure how you can agree with the accusation that the oft cried ROBBERY is actually 'dismissed' by'people'. What people? The casual fans? From what I see, casual fans are dismissing Boxing because of the shit judging. Not shit reactions.
Well not so much the dismissing bit, I wasn't really focusing on that. But, I do think the fact that the word gets thrown around so easily (one person appears to even be arguing that Khan-Maidana was a robbery ) means that actual robberies such as this are devalued. I don't know I just get the feeling, maybe of my own impressions, that someone who hadn't seen the fight would just assume it was over-zealous fans overreacting again. Fuck you, scrutinizing me agreeing with Marble, can't you just let me complain about the decision?!
