10 worst robberies you know

A robbery would be a difference of four plus rounds to the general consenus (IMO).

For example: I had Lewis winning the Holyfield fight (fight one); but by two rounds, thus a draw, although unlucky on Lennox, was not an out and out robbery.

Sometimes as well people jump on bandwagons, or have a bias because of commentating.

 

De la Hoya vs trinidad was no robbery if trinidad clearly won 5-6 rounds imo.

 

Holmes Cobb.

What were they thinking?

 

Well 90% of people don't agree. Most thought De La Hoya won.

Trinidad couldn't put two together, never mind land two punches in succession. His single bombs and pressure made some rounds pretty close, but he was outclassed. He was clearly getting peppered with jabs and sharp rights.

De La Hoya stayed away and ran the last 3 rounds, but boxing matches are scored over 12 rounds.

 

Trindad won the 5th round, he won the 9th round IMO and the 1st and 6th could have gone to either fighter. Lederman scored the fight as a legit draw, hardly a robbery. Robbery= 9+ rounds

 

Similar here, but for me, if a fighter definitely wins 7 rounds and loses 5 (all 10-9) and doesn't get the decision, then he's robbed.

Yes, no robbery. An even split. Probably the edge to Leonard though. 60/40, maybe 55/45.

Yep. Bad Verdict. Definitely a robbery because of the way some of those early rounds were scored.

 

Holmes-Spinks II

Hopkins-Taylor II

Ali-Norton III (not sure if its a robbery, but definately a bad decision)

If I remember right, Foreman got a gift over Shulz or Stewart, can't remember which.

 

Fair enough. But when you're in a minority don't you ever think 'hmm, maybe i was a little too biased myself'. There's also the 'hey these commentators don't know **** compared with me' type of fan.

 

Hopkins-Taylor II was no robbery. Come on. :huh

 

Manfredy-Diaz

 

That is why I use a four round swing; that way I can take into account sometimes I am pretentious *****

 

De La Hoya won the 9th. More cleaner punches, and lands more. I could only give Trinidad the 4th, 10th, 11th, and 12th. Round one was pretty close.

8-4 DLH or 7-4-1.

 

Good to see a Holmes fanatic never mentioned the first Spinks fight. Im sure you agree, Spinks won fairly.

 

I don't think Spinks won, I had Holmes winning by a round. IMO Spinks didn't "beat" Larry to take the title. The tradition where you give close rounds to the champ ended on that night.

 

Hopkins v Taylor I. This fight fools everyone. Over the entire 12 rounds, Hopkins edged it. Lets just say you look at the whole fight and not the rounds individually. If your looking at the 36 minutes as one round, Hopkins wins.

Mainly because Hopkins' went about his work during the rounds he won with more authority. Power punches and being affective with his aggression. His workrate increased dramatically after 8 rounds.

Taylor was winning his rounds by outworking Hopkins, although the rounds were close. But Taylor was busier and landing more than Hopkins, although cutely from long range.

Taylor won.
