    2019 is on track to be Farooq vs McGregor. In a fight where the following took place:

    Farooq threw more punches
    Farooq landed more punches
    Farooq landed at a higher connect percentage
    Farooq was on the front foot as the aggressor all night
    McGregor was made to wildly miss his punches from start to finish
    McGregor fought extremely dirty
    McGregor was lucky to only be deducted 1 point
    McGregor was much the bigger man, 5 inches taller and around 15lbs heavier
    The referee allowed McGregor to use his shoulders, clinch excessively and use rough tactics throughout

    McGregor has deleted comments and blocked a good few people on his Instagram as he is shamelessly trying to paint a better picture for himself and this really shows how desperate he is about this "decision". In the ring he said "opinion will maybe be 50-50 about this" but it's more like 99-1.

    Team McGregor hired 9 coaches to transport fans from Edinburgh to Glasgow (1 hour journey), then most people drive and there is also trains. It was a pro-McGregor crowd but when the decision was announced there was only boo's, his fans were silent or had already left as they knew McGregor had lost. When he raised the belts, again more boo's. Comments across social media, YouTube etc. are unanimously calling it a clear cut robbery.

    The way that Team McGregor celebrated at the final bell was very telling. That is not something you do when your guy clearly lost in front of you.

    Unless I have forgot any other robbery this year, I think this takes it so far.

    Someone got robbed in Liverpool tonight, old habits die hard in scouseland.

    Home town decisions happen, but please at least make it look even minutely plausible, come on 117-111 is ludicrous beyond belief.

    I left off Whitaker vs De La Hoya, Bhop vs Calzaghe, Lara vs Canelo, and Spinks vs Holmes 2 intentionally. Those were all too close to be robberies, I thought. Highly debatable, yes. But with the exception of Lara vs Canelo, I think that the majority of fans thought that the verdicts were correct. I also left off premature stoppages like Kovalev vs Ward 2, because those deserve their own thread and category the same as fixed fights where someone takes a dive.

    I'd argue the same as Floyd Mayweather vs Marcos Maidana 1. I thought Maidana won but I wouldn't call it a robbery.

    I hate Floyd and I'm not always fair. At least I didn't put De La Hoya vs Floyd in there.

    My girlfriend who hates boxing, watches through her fingers when I’m watching, hasn’t a clue about anything boxing related turned round and said to me ‘I thought the small guy won’. It ****ing sums up that decision.
