    Not even saying either were robberies, its not my opinion tbf

    Have seen quite a few people calling them robberies.

    Edward Hearn who promoted Bivol called that fight a massive robbery, but as promoter of Taylor thought she won easily lol. Almost as if we should all agree.

    Do you agree

    I definitely thought Serrano had more of a gripe than Bivol though

    Neither were robberies.

    Although I had Bivol winning 115-114 (I scored a round 10-10) it was a close fight and not a robbery (although I didn't like the 116-112 card).

    A robbery is when there is a clear winner, like Kovalev-Ward I, and the other fighter is given the decision.

    Neither were robberies IMO a robbery is a fight like Haney Loma.

    I didn’t think Beterbiev vs Bivol was a robbery. I mostly agreed with the scoring actually.

    Taylor vs Serrano 2 I didn’t actually sit down with pen and paper to do the scoring but I generally felt Serrano won. But I would have to really sit down and score it round by round to call it a robbery.

    Haney won that fight fair and square. A robbery is like Taylor vs Catteral 1.

    Neither were robberies I had Taylor winning by 1 point and I had Bivol/Beterbiev a draw.

    The only reason Serrano/Taylor got so much backlash was because of the terrible commentary team calling it a robbery very unprofessional and it took away from how good the fight was.

    I don't think neither were. I originally scored Beterbiev vs Bivol a draw and on rewatch scored it for Beterbiev. Serrano vs Taylor was back and forth all night. I scored it for Serrano but it could have went either way.

    Taylor cheated . Should've been disqualified.

    Beterbiev won.

    Serrano fought far better than Bivol till she got cut and went for broke, she buzzed Taylor will nearly every shot she landed till then and Katy was just running away and pot-shotting.

    I had Beb-Biv a draw but a close Beb win was fine. It was a very close fight. And a great one.

    Serrano clearly beat Taylor in my view . I had it by at 4 rounds to Serrano. Yeah i think that was a robbery.

    I thought Serrano was the clear winner, especially with the point deduction.

    AB vs Bivol was close, I watched the fight on my phone, felt like it could have gone either way.

    Serrano deserved to win more than Bivol if that is the question.

    I thought Bivol and Serrano both deserved the nod but I'm not putting either anywhere near a top 5 robberies of the year list.
