    funeka guzman is one of the worst I have ever seen... nevermind this year. Froch/direll takes runner-up.

    There's only one robbery on that list...and it's up in the top 3 worst robberies in the history of the sport. Let's get it right. There's no conceivable way anyone could have ever scored that a draw...it was a domination. Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

    I agree funeka got it the worst but dirrell and malignaggi clearly were the better fighters and they did not get draws they got ridiculous hometown dec with just criminal cards

    Froch-Direll wasn't as much of a robbery as people think.

    I made a small bet on Funeka with +195 odds. Try to imagine how pissed I am.

    I did, however, think about robbery being possible, and that's why the "small" bet as opposed to "large"

    Paulie and Collazo got robbed, and Funeka obviously did. Froch-Dirrell is a tough one, I don't know if I'd call it a robbery.

    If you add Callazo vs berto or Haye Vs Valuev none of these are robberies these are close fights same with Malinaggi or Froch fight. I couldn't care what way you score fights effective punching, pressure anything Funeka won this fight by 10000 miles this fight doesn't even deserve to be mentioned with the rest it was that big of a robbery.

    Funeka got horribly robbed. Gotta love our corrupted sport huh. Too angry to think right now.

    That was the worst ive seen since, Casamayor vs. Cruz in 2007

    I dont know if I'd call Froch vs Dirrell a robbery. I mean Dirrell did land more punches, was better defensively, nearly KO'd Froch and Froch barely landed 2 power punches, but dont know if I'd call it a robbery.

    Lets just call it simple assault

    I hate Paulie and was hoping Diaz would give him a beating, but I think he was absolutely robbed.
