    For those who saw both fights, which was the bigger robbery!
    Coz they both CLEARLY were no doubt in my mind

    both won 8-4 in rounds on my card. I think the lebedev robbery was bigger because the kd made the fights close with hopkins, he clearly won but a draw isnt that ridiculous.

    Both are borderline robberies but Lebedev has a better case since he wasn't knocked down (technically he was at the end of one of the early rounds as a combination of a punch and a slip, in fact that was more legit than Pascal's behind the head shot). I have no idea, ZERO how people call that, the Jones and the Mundine knockdowns legit. Hitting the back of the head is illegal even if the opponent turns into it. You shouldn't score a body shot KO becaue your punch landed low as the opponent pushed you down, if it's low it's low, and if it's landing behind the head, there should be a break and time given to recover not starting a count.

    Idk I gotta watch Huck-Lebedev in its entirety but from what I saw there were alot of close rounds towards the end where Lebedev was less active then Huck, even though Huck wasn't landing alot of clean shots.

    With Hopkins/Pascal, Pascal basically only won 4 rounds of the fight, Hopkins dominated the rest. It was obvious because Hopkins was throwing and landing way more.

    With Huck/Lebedev, it seemed to me Huck was throwing more punches even though Lebedev showed better boxing ability.

    But at least Hopkins got the draw. Lebedev showed he's a better boxer but imo he needed to be more active in rounds 6-11.
