    Which robbery was worse?

    Collazo/Berto or Collazo/Hatton

    Neither was a robbery....

    I scored Collazo-Berto 114-113 Collazo

    I scored Hatton-Collazo 114-113 Hatton

    I'm sure i remember a thread on Hatton-Collazo a little while back and the majority had Hatton winning.

    The majority last night had Collazo winning.

    The Berto one was only slightly worse. At least Hatton dropped him.

    Berto wasnt a "robbery." It was a close fight that could have gone either way...Hatton-Collazo was more of a "robbery" IMO. I had it 114-113 Berto...

    Neither were robberies. Close fights is the correct term. I had Hatton beating Collazo but Collazo beating Berto.

    They could easily go the other way.

    one point doesn't make it a robbery. and I've heard controversial as well

    how was Collazo-Berto controversial?

    close fight, imo.

    Collazo-Berto was controversial in the sense that COllazo took Berto out of his game plan for most of the fight. By fighting on the inside and DESTROYING him on the inside. completely out working and out hustling him. the only reason he began losing momentum of the fight was because he had no more gas in the tank. i had it 7 rounds to 5 for Collazo so the only way i could have seen it, besides it being 115-112 for Collazo, was maybe a draw...but no way Berto won and that 116-111. pathetic. that WAS a robbery

    the hatton/collazo fight couldve gone either way.

    I had it a draw at best, but i thought Collazo won the fight, 7 rounds to 5. Some of the rounds were close, but even then, I still had Collazo winning by a point

    They were both robberies, without a doubt Collazo beat both fighters. I think his loss to Ricky Hatton was worse. When I saw the fight the first time I thought it was a draw, but the second time it was definitely a robbery.

    if when you saw the fight first time you thought it was a draw how could it ever be a robbery as be definition the fight had to be close.

    all the people claiming robbery have terrible arguments

    if it was a robbery

    1. why were the scorecards in both the Hatton AND Berto fight so close .. aight the 116-111 is out of wack, but again 114-113 twice and 115-112 twice (vs Hatton) that's 1 and 3 points respectively .. I'd say pretty close

    and secondly you can't say you had a fight 7-5 and call it a robbery. That's one round away from being a draw and a 7-5 fight you had for Collazo is no robbery ... but 7-5 the other way is? what

    "completely out working and out hustling him." if this was true Collazo would have decisively won more rounds.

    **what I think really makes peoples opinions differ is some of the so called swing rounds. Take the 6th and 7th .. both rounds Lederman scored for Collazo .. adding up to a final tally of 115-112 for Collazo

    however I gave those 6 and 7th rounds to Berto .. making my scorecard read 114-113 for Andre Berto.

    :huh 7 to 5 with a point lost??? How did you score it only by one point? That should have been 115-112
