Absolute worst robbery of 2017

Another butthurt delusional Pac nuthugger.

 

You don't have to "rake up obscure fights". I provided video of my two candidates in the OP. Anyone can feel free to watch them to see if they disagree with me on those being the worst decisions of the year, it isn't like these aired clandestinely once on some secret stream and are not viewable since. Both fights happen to have been for titles, albeit relatively minor ones compared with the world championship, sanctioned by a major org (both were for WBO Euro belts), so they weren't even THAT obscure. I'm not talking about rando Argentine 4-rounders here. If somebody wants to put forth a serious alternative with a persuasive argument for why their selection or remotely notable (and yes I think a couple of WBO Euro title bouts ought to make the grade of notability standards, which is no sillier than some drawing the line at "HBO/Showtime or bust!") was as bad as mine or worse, like @CST80 , then I'm receptive to it. What I will not brook is any of the expected nonsense from the lowest-common-denominator rabble that make up most of the forum. You know damn well that had I not headed them off at the pass a majority of folks, let's say at least 18 of the first thirty replies (that is two whole pages) would have parroted "Horn vs. Pac!!! " ...which is an opinion that should not be taken seriously or given an environment to spread or thrive.

 

Speaking of @CST80 , even most of his submissions are trash (sorry dude!) When you consider how many of his final scores are in the 115-113 and 116-112 range. The guys he thinks won need to have DOMINATED the seven or eight rounds they won in those in order to put those on the same pedestal as, say,
Keleş vs. Garrido II in terms of robberies. Everyone that watched the latter agreed that Garrido shut out Keleş (else came one round shy), and these weren't close rounds that he just barely shaded. He cleaned the dude's clock, all night long. You need a VERY strong candidate to bump that off the list.

Granted a lot of CST's mentions I haven't seen yet myself. I'll leave the door open to any of them perhaps indeed being more egregious scoring travesties, but in the meantime I remain skeptical especially in light of his own personal very close final scorecards in many of them.

 

See this is a fair dinkum argument to make, and far more reasonable a shout than Horn vs. Pac or any other situation where someone's favorite lost a close fight. Problem is, that doesn't sound more convincing than "Garrido shut out and beat up Keleş for ten rounds according to literally everyone that watched (except a small handful of people on Twitter, all Turks, all clearly rooting with nationalistic bias and wearing rose colored glasses) but still had judgment go against him".

Was the situation parallel? Would you say Benn was shut out and beaten up in every single round?

Again, in the spirit of debate I am happy to give Benn vs. Peynaud a viewing at your suggestion when I get a chance. I would just ask the same courtesy that you watch Keleş vs. Garrido as well at your earliest convenience. They're both on YouTube.
