What is a robbery? Video/discussion

a robbery must be a tabulation because of a decentralized population. Those making the determination can be in alaska or argentina or greenland to australia. Of this population at least a 70% overwhelming majority must choose the looser as the robee. This tabulation comes from tweets , forums, news....ect. a 51% to 49% is too slim of margin it must be overwhelming.

 

If Brook Vs Spence Jr goes 12 and we all knew in reality Spence actually won then us Brits will show you a robbery.

If you want to discuss points then present the points you want to discuss lol.
Robberies:

May Vs Castillo
Ward vs kovalev

 

A robbery is when a clear winner doens't win the decision. Examples that I can think of at the top of my head:


Helenius - Chisora for the european title
Lennox Lewis vs Evander Holyfield for the undisputed heavyweight championship
Pacquiao - Marquez 3 (I might be wrong here, haven't watched it since live but I thought back then it was a robbery)

 

No, wrong, not robberies. Maybe the majority, even sizeable majority thought both official losers should've won, but if so they likely only won by a round or two, and there were several close, 'swing' rounds. And there was a knockdown in Ward-Kovalev and a point deduction in Mayweather-Castillo. Also, I didn't watch much of that video, but their point is how much perception might have impacted who we think is winning or how we score. After Ward was hurt, we might have swayed more to Kovalev when he wasn't effective, or perhaps the other way, we might credit Ward more than deserved for coming back. Similarly we might have credited Castillo vs Mayweather because he was landing and backing Floyd up, but Floyd was certainly landing and boxing well. And undefeated, great boxers were simply challenged in really competitive fights for the first time in their careers, and a lot of people might therefore overrate the success of their opponents.

Both simply close fights and tough to score. But robbery means there is no way the guy whose hand was raised really should've won. Like the fights Ahurath mentioned.

 

Arobbery is not a competive fight.

Its that simple. You cant claim robbery when alot of peope have it 1 or 2 rounds either way.

Martinez cintron is the ultimate robbery.
Knocked out his opponent and still got a draw

 

First of all we have to come to a mutual understanding of what the term 'robbery' means.

Robbery for me is a fight where the scores differ widely from your scorecard even when you award all of the robbed fighter none of the close rounds. So if you have a fight 8-4 and you feel you have given the other fighter every round you possibly could and the other fighter still wins, then that is an example of a robbery.

Ward vs Kovalev, Mayweather vs Castillo are not examples of robberies. They are close fights where one could argue the wrong fighter lost but if you notice in these cases the usually more dominant fighter underperformance getting rewarded for the win is what leads to the outrage.

All I'll say is a 7-5 fight going the other direction is not a robbery in my eyes, it could be seen as a unfair decision but can't be considered a robbery for me.
