    Real talk.

    Ppl act like every 7-5 decision can be flipped and it'd be ok, just cuz it was 7-5. I hate this 'close fights can't be robberies' bull****.

    Morales vs Pacquaio 1 was a 7 - 5 decision by all three judges ( I feel it was a fair score. ) yet it was a clear win for Morales.

    It's not a close fight if 80% of fans (as evidenced by the "who won?" poll the last time I checked it) thought it was a robbery.

    Freddie Roach did not score the fight. When asked how he had it going into the 12th round, he hesitated and said "the winner of this round wins the fight." He's scrambled and pulled this same response out of his ass before.

    I could have seen a draw but it's really hard to see Adamek winning this one , probably that people who scored it in favor of Adamek had been blinded by Thomas 10 seconds furry at the end of each rounds.

    Bad judging yes but no robbery

    Duva fight... I don't think we can really assume they were merely bad at judging.

    yes, 72 people is statistically significant. The poll is valid and reliable. LOL

    Except the fact is that a 7-5 decision can be flipped if all the rounds aren't agreed about by the judges. The rounds were close, a robbery occurs when the rounds aren't close and the other guy somehow wins them.

    ESB forum polls conform to the most rigorous scientific polling standards in all of the free world. The numbers don't lie: this was a robbery.

    Roach had it by one round and Flores who was cheerleading USS all night had him by only 2 rounds.

    That is not a robbery when there were so many close rounds. Steve would come out with a strong jab at the start of the round and then fade and allow Adamek to press him on the ropes I also thought that that while USS won a lot of the first few rounds he also lost a lot of the late rounds.

    I had it USS by 1-2 rounds, but the crying isn't at all warranted.

    Use whatever criteria you want.... Adamek didn't win. There is no way in the world you can have Adamek winning that fight and some people went as far as giving Cunningham 11 rounds.

    ROBBERY!!!!
