    Number 3. If one fighter clearly wins the fight and doesn't get the decision, it's a robbery. (Lewis-Holyfield I) And I agree with Fedor Em, a close robbery is still a robbery because the winner is clear. If it's a close fight where you can make a case for either fighter winning, it's not a robbery.

    In that case choice 2 is debatable and choice 3 is a clear robbery.

    Lewis vs Holyfield 1, thats ROBBERY. Fights that are that apparent are robbery's. These days it seems the trend to start calling every close fight a robbery:-(

    A close fight called the wrong winner would be PBF-DLH if DLH was awarded the win, the fight was CLOSE enough but the winner was CLEAR. In the case of JMM-Pac, the fight was close enough but the winner was NOT CLEAR. hence why most who scored it for JMM could see how Pac could be the winner. In the case of PBF-DLH, noone who scored it for PBF could see how it could go for DLH. So as it is, it wasn't the wrong winner called out, it was just a DIFFERENT winner called out as people can see both either fighters could be scored winners.
