    No.
    Because a robbery means that one fighter clearly wins, but gets screwed by the judges. It wasn't the case in this fight.

    Watching live, I thought Castano won comfortably. There were, however, some very close rounds that I scored for Castano, that you could make a case for Lara, I guess. To me, Castano was busier and landed the harder, cleaner shots. I know a lot of fans disagree, but I had Castano 117-111. I scored it in my head while watching and will have to watch it again tonight. I recall the 1st and 8th being very close and giving both to Castano. I thought Castano got kinda hosed, personally, but I can't go as far as to call it a robbery because that word is used far, far too much. But I definitely thought Castano won. Solid scrap.

    The draw was best case scenario for Lara.
    Kevin Morgan finding 7 round for him seems like a stretch.

    Had they given it to Lara, it would have been reasonable to call it a robbery.

    Castano clearly won it and fairly wide, one twos to the forearms from start to finish isn't a schooling. Castano outworked him in almost every round, landed more and cleaner in almost every round. Lara did okay and kept it competitive, but didn't do the more effective work. Castano won this fight hands down. So yeah, it was a robbery.

    Erickson Lubin predicted the draw. He got knocked out by a Charlo.
