    Macklin-Sturm was slightly worse since Macklin dominated 9 rounds and Chisora dominated only 8, while Sturm got 8 rounds gifted on the official cards and Helenius only got 7. Lara-Williams comes close, Pac-JMM, Matthysse-Alexander were more competetive fights, other highway robberies this year on a quick thought Prescott-McCloskey, Zbik-Chavez jr. also fights like Mares-Agbeko I, Sprott-Dimitrenko due to those absolutly disgusting biased referees needs to be mentioned
    worst farce i've seen this year was this

    along with Hopkins defending a belt by shamelessly quitting against Dawson

    I cosidered Agbeko vs. Mares but in that case the judges had to score what the incompetent ref offered them incl. a million wrong low blow calls, bull**** knockdowns and point deductions etc. No doubt this fight was a disgrace but Agbeko was robbed by the ref and not so much by the judges.

    Zbik vs. Chavez was extremly close as was McCloskey vs. Prescott. I haven't seen Dimi vs. Sprott yet.

    Mathysse vs. Alexander was close too but it was dead-clear. There were no close, controversial rounds plus a knockdown for Math. If I remember correctly,
    virtually everyone in the RBR thread scored the fight 6-4 (in favour of Math) or 5-5 (again 1 xtr point for KD). There was barely room for negotiation.

    did i say anything different?:huh a robbery is a robbery, isn't it? obvioulsy biased referees preventing a fight from going down naturally is even worse than bad scorecards imo
    Zbik won 9 clear rounds in his fight, Prescott 8 and scored a KD. neither fight was close they were robbed off by a wider margin than Mathysse against Alexander

    Chisora-Helenius for me. Stevie Wonder could see Chisora won the fight.

    Stevie Wonder s blind so he wouldnt be able to see it but he'd probably trust others to tell him how much of a robbery it is.

    Lara's HEAD was swollen after headbutt. It was a GIGANTIC robbery.

    I would have added Agbeko vs. Mares I to the list. Well, it was a different type of robbery but still very much of that...

    Pacquiao vs. Marquez, Marquez won but it was close in comparison to the others
    Williams vs. Lara Clearly Lara won, pure robbery
    Helenius vs. Chisora Clearly Chrisor won, also a robbery
    Sturm vs. Macklin Macklin did it, not as close as the both above
    Alexander vs. Mathysse haven't seen this one

    For me its hard to decide some fights should have similar scorings at the end.

    Worst I've ever seen happened this year and isn't even listed in the options on this thread...... Palacios vs Wlodarczyk..... Wlodarczyk lost nearly every round in the shittiest title fight ever. Both guys looked awful but Palacios won no less than 11 rounds and somehow they gave it to Wlod in his home of Poland. Pathetic ****.

    Oh I forgot about that. I remember reading the RBR on here and the eventual outcry once the disgraceful scorecards were revealed but I didn't see it live and hence forgot it. Sorry.

    i don't even like either fighter and I wanted to smash my tv, i couldn't believe it was possible to rob a shutout or near shutout UD from someone.

    Williams definetly won at least 2 rounds.

    Helenius nicked a round and an argument can be made for 2 others.

    Wlod? not one legit round!

    Sai v Cox. Was on a British card (yup we who complain about foreign cards). Cox should have been DQ'd but managed to win on points. Was a complete joke.
