    No, I don't think he was "robbed". I think people who had him winning the fight are upset that Diaz got the nod because they wanted to see Morales finish his career with a title..

    so why are people 2 to 1 saying he was robbed? Because they love Morales and wanted him to go out on a high?

    It was a close decision.

    But he was not robbed. In the first place, Diaz was the champ, and IMO, EM did not impress the judges that much to get their nod.

    Diaz is still a mediocre fighter though! It seems Morales was clearly shot and on top of that demotivated.

    No, it was a close fight. You could give it either way.

    It was a close fight but not a robbery. I had Morales up 114-113 but I wouldn't call it a robbery.

    Not a robbery. Really close fight, I had Diaz 114-113. It was a tight fight.
