Wow, you have robbery noms you think are worse than mine? (and I know you wouldn't drop those lightly without having seen and scored the aforementioned two for comparison) These I've gotta see..
It should and is, though. Also the question wasn't "most relevant or well known or highest profile robbery". It was "the worst". Those aren't the same thing. Should calling out people's lack of comprehension of the meaning of basic English be a point of abuse?
Not sure if they're worst, but pretty close, or at the very least even with yours. First nomination. Aik Shakhnazaryan vs Al Rivera 12 Rounds for Al's Light Welterweight Title. Here's my scorecard. Round 1 Shakhanazaryan 10-9 Round 2 Rivera 10-9 Round 3 Rivera 10-9 Round 4 Rivera 10-9 Round 5 Rivera 10-9 Round 6 Rivera 10-9 Round 7 Rivera 10-9 Round 8 Shakhanazaryan 10-9 Round 9 Rivera 10-9 Round 10 Rivera 10-9 Round 11 Rivera 10-9 Round 12 Rivera 10-9 118-110 Rivera or 117-111 Final scorecards in Russia. 116-113 115-113 115-114 UD for Aik This content is protected
By the way, for anyone who regards Pacquiao-Horn, Gonzalez-Sor Rungvisai or Farmer-Ogawa robberies, quit your delusional bellyaching and get some ****ing glasses, they're not even close to robberies, because on all three occasions, the right man won.
I love how simply having any standards whatsoever and not succumbing to mindless groupthink caused you to be labeled as elitist nowadays.
People watch sports to see the highest echelon of athletes compete, if you actually go to a boxing gym and say have you seen this latest Aik fight, people will be like "huh, who the hell's that?". It's not in any way impressive to watch a shitty, no name foreign undercard that you can only find on some 240p stream and proclaim to be the best fan.
Two robberies on one card, back in April on a little seen or virtually ignored British card, 4 relatively well known warriors went into battle, and in both cases, shock of all shocks, the A side home fighters got gifts. Martin Murray vs. Gabriel Rosado 12 Rounds. Round 1 Rosado 10-9 Round 2 Murray 10-9 Round 3 Rosado 10-9 Round 4 Rosado 10-9 Round 5 Rosado 10-9 Round 6 Murray 10-9 Round 7 Murray 10-9 Round 8 Rosado 10-9 Round 9 Rosado 10-9 Round 10 Murray 10-9 Round 11 Rosado 10-9 Round 12 Rosado 10-9 116-112 Rosado 117-111 or 115-113 are fine as well. Official scorecards. 114-114 119-109 116-112 MD for Murray This content is protected And on the undercard... Rocky Fielding vs. John Ryder 12 Rounds @ Super Middleweight. Pinoy's scorecard, which I agree with. I watched it afterward, but didn't officially score it live.

If you only watch the Patriots, though, you aren't exactly a knowledgeable NFL fan, are you? Only following the biggest names in a sport is fine, it just means you need to STFU when the knowledgeable people are discussing generalized topics about the sport. If you only watched seven or eight fights all year, it means you're disqualified from having an opinion about the worst televised boxing robbery because you simply wouldn't have any way of knowing. That's all.
Josh Warrington vs Kiko Martinez 12 Rounds @ Featherweight I initially skipped this, but went back and watched it aftr seeing the last 4 rounds live. Here's KiwiMan's score. Round 1.

Silent fists is going to give us potentially the worst world title fight in living memory soon enough when he takes on Andrew 'I've got the worst nickname in world boxing' Selby in 2018.
It's getting very snobbish though and not in a good way, almost like a fandom dick measuring contest. There's an in-between territory of only watching Patriots and watching everything including shitty local youth matches. That's what most boxing fans here are, I don't agree this fact preclude the vast majority from having a valid opinion, how is it casual to list someone like Murata for example? I mean there's probably an even more obscure robbery in somewhere like Yemen that was televised that everyone missed out on, why is there a need to find the ABSOLUTE, just let people have their say in what they've seen.
In a completely illogical robbery. The once beaten, by Fortuna in a close match, prospect Omar Douglas fought Ednar Cherry, himself a recipient of many shady scorecard losses, finally got a gift himself. Douglas fighting near his own hometown, IMO won by basically a near shutout. Still not sure why a good prospect gets robbed to hand over a win to an old fighter nearing retirement, no matter how many times Cherry Bomb was robbed. My scorecard. Round 1 Douglas 10-9 Round 2 Douglas 10-9 Round 3 Douglas 10-9 Round 4 Douglas 10-9 Round 5 Cherry 10-9 Round 6 Douglas 10-9 Round 7 Douglas 10-9 Round 8 Douglas 10-9 Round 9 Douglas 10-9 Round 10 Douglas 10-9 99-91 Douglas Here's moparfan's scorecard. 1.
