    It seems like after we had a great month of upsets in April, we've now been treated to a month of questionable decisions, if not outright robberies. Just curious what everyone thinks was the worst decision of the month. Feel free to add any that I have forgotten.

    Thought Chavez beat Zbik in a close fight, had Macklin narrowly beating Sturm, but had Dallas up and Matthysse up clearly. Those were two bad decisions.

    I should say I don't necessarily disagree with all of these. Just tried to include the decisions that attracted the most controversy.

    Alexander-Matthysee

    Lucas clearly won that fight.

    I'd say Herrera-Dallas. I didn't think it was especially close and was shocked when Dallas didn't get the decision.

    I had Chavez 115-113, I prefered his bodyshots and thought he hurt more Zbik in most of the rounds than Zbik hurt him.

    I had 95-94 for Matthyse and thought he really deserved to win, but still thought Alexander could have gotten the decision.

    I had 115-113 for Mackiln and that's I thought was the worst robbery, since I gave Sturm every close round.

    I haven't watched Macklins effort yet but Lucas beat Devon pretty clearly. A friend, having watched Macklin, suggested he won by a couple of rounds but we all knew he would have to KO Sturm in Germany to get the nod!

    Sturm has been on the wrong end of that kind of decision before I hope there is a rematch

    Devon's win by far is the worst decision.

    I scored the Sturm vs. Macklin fight 10-2 for Macklin. And I thought only two of the ten rounds tops are debatable. And I'm a big Sturm fan.

    Matthysse won by one point, hardly a "robbery." I'm not stunned by the voting, goes to show the quality of voters.

    rofl at people calling Mathysse/Alexander a robbery.

    The word "robbery" is used a little to casually by boxing fans who get pissed when the judges didn't come up with an identical score to how they scored the fight.

    I haven't seen Sturm/MAcklin yet, but the other fights on the list don't qualify as robberies at all IMO. Close fights that could have gone to the other guy maybe.

    Have you seen Galarza-Garcia? I'd say that was probably the biggest robbery of the bunch; people in the RBR thread had it as a shutout, and I've seen no scorecard that gave him more than 3 rounds.
