    A close fight isn't a robbery. Mayweather vs Castillo was close. Fights like Froch vs Dirrell, and Shumenov vs Campillo II, weren't close, thus they are called robberies.

    Oscar was never a MW, but sturm actually got US coverage by fighting him and then proceeded to return to Germany - so you can't be surprised that sturm got what he asked for - no fights against one of the top MW's in the world.
    to say sturm deserved something that he never pursued simply because he won 'a belt' just isn't true

    Nothing I have seen comes close to this as being the most disgraceful decisions I have seen.

    Castillo - Mayweather 1 was reallly bad.

    Martinez v Cintron was god awful. Sergio Ko'd hime TWICE and then got screwed on the decision. Three birds with one stone!

    DLH v Mosley 2 was pretty terrible.

    Pac v Bradley cost the sport some fans as being fake, rigged and no better than pro wrestling. Even worse because Pac's popularity brought in mainstream fans.

    Kov v Ward was laughable but at least you knew it was coming.
