    As usual it's been another terrible year for bad decisions, which one was the worst?


    Pacquiao vs Bradley.

    Campillo vs Cloud

    Cunningham vs Adamek

    Firat Arslan vs Marco Huck

    Brandon Rios vs Richard Abril

    Don't forget Adamek v Chambers.

    Out of that list Rios v Abril and Campillo v Cloud though.

    Almost as bad as Cunningham vs. Adamek - what makes it impressive (on Eddie's part) is that he fought one-handed almost the entire night after injuring his left early.

    Dude was effortlessly transitioning from throwing (and landing) lead rights out of the orthodox stance to popping (and scoring with) right jabs as a southpaw, all with quick subtle footwork to switch back and forth before Adamek could adjust to defend, let alone tag him back.

    Only saw the Marquez and Rios fights but I will go with the Rios- Abril fight, disgraceful.

    Oh man, that's such a shame. Eddie must've been gutted. It's heartbreaking watching guys work so hard and get ripped off like this. But it's as old as the sport itself, i've been watching boxing a long time and boy i've seen some bad decisions in my time. You just kind of become desensitized to it. Not a suprised anymore.

    Did you see Koki Kameda vs Hugo Ruiz, IB?

    Cloud/Campillo

    Campillo put on a serious ass whooping after being KD twice in the first round.

    I'm going with that one aswell. It's maybe the only one where the guy who got the decision took a beating. You just despair sometimes.

    If anyone has a few minutes to spare, this is quite an inspiring highlight video, from what was a very good fight.

    I had Abril beating Rios 12-0. So, clearly, that would be my Robbery of the Year.
