    I completely disagree with the OP. in fact, it annoys me more and more that people say “well, if you give every remotely close round to fighter A, take into account the opponent was on the back foot sometimes, divide it and carry the 1, then that scorecard is possible, so no robbery” even though 90% of viewers have fighter B as the winner.

    lets face it, most fights are easy to score within a 1 or 2 point margin. there is usually a reasonable conensus. when these crooked judges with no accountability turn in their nonsense cards, fans submit to authority and stretch themselves to justify them.

    Campbell Hatton v Sonni Martinez is one of the worst robberies I've ever seen. He pounded on Hatton for 6 rounds and was shafted by the scoring referee.

    Ggg v canelo 1 and 2. Neither were close until the lies started to be spouted.

    Lomochenko v Haney wasn't close at all until the shills started.

    Biggest one I've seen in a long time was the caterall v Taylor. Generally youd have though winning nine to ten rounds and knocking the other guy would guarantee the win but somehow the judges thought differently.

    Biggest I’ve seen is Ward Kovalev 1.

    That was a 8-4 with a KD type fight.

    Sickened me

    A lot are, namely Loma vs Haney, Ali vs Norton 3, GGG vs Canelo 2, which were objectively very close and could have gone either way. However there are still plenty of robberies in boxing.

    The worst and most blatant robberies are obvious, such as Rolly vs Barroso, GGG vs Canelo 1, Chavez vs Whitaker, Ramirez vs Whitaker, Pacquiao vs Bradley, and Lewis vs Holyfield 1.

    Other fights have been called robberies due to atrocious scorecards, even when the result wasn’t too outlandish (Wilder vs Fury 1 for example).

    On top of these there are causes is attempted robberies, namely Bivol vs Canelo and Canelo vs Mayweather were it was clear the judges did everything to try and rob the winner.

    Ive posted this before but....

    Nobody here has probably seen it, it was on ESPN back in the day so I know somewhere the tape exists, Marion Wilson (9-22-3 4 KOs) losing a wide 10 round decision to 12-2 3 KOs Robert Hawkins is the worst decision I've ever seen with the most questionable judging I've ever seen period. Hawkins was dropped and I think Two judges scored the fight 100-90.

    Wilson 42 loses never stopped, held Ray Mercer to a draw in 94, and has a lot of close decisions, Majority and split decisions. Went the distance with Briggs, McCall, Golota, Ibeabuchi, David Izon, Jimmy Thunder, Kirk Johnson, Rachman

    Sonni Martinez, I only mentioned that a couple of days ago to someone.
