    Everyone needs to stop all this bull**** about how Pacquiao-Marquez 3 was a robbery. The fight was close and could have gone either way, and really I think a draw is the best way to score that fight. In no way was there a robbery. These days anytime a fighter loses, the fans of that fighter will cry about robbery and it's pathetic. A robbery is when one fighter clearly wins undisputably and the other fighter is awarded the decision, not when a fight is close on both sides.

    Yes, close fight. I thought Marquez deserved the nod but definitely not a robbery.

    This sounds good, but when you consider that there were three close fights and none in Marquez favor then it's a problem.

    If Marquez wanted a draw he wouldve had to knock Pac out and he knew that going in.

    "Close fights are never robberies!"

    Bull...
    If it's a twelve rounder and one boxer clearly wins 6 and the other rounds can go either way it can even be a draw without being a robbery, but NEVER a win for the other guy!

    So close fights CERTAINLY can be robberies!

    edit: same goes for 6 rounds all, with a point deduction
