    at first I was ok with it now it's just pissing me off, seriously over used term

    Not every close fight that doesn't go the way you want is a robbery

    Just a simple point that I needed to say

    Update

    Rios vs Abril - Robbery, I had it 117-111, best you could have it is 116-112 for Bam Bam

    "Robbed" is overused around here almost as much as "glass chin."

    It's really insulting to the robberies like Helenius-Chisora, Campillo-Cloud, Lara-Williams, those fights are actual terrible robberies yet get overlooked.

    Good point and thread.
    Marquez-Pac 3 is a genuine robbery.
    Cleverly-Karpency was just a close fight.

    Yep. (and there seems to be an awful lot of them on ESB.)

    Too much testosterone & rap music!

    - It's hard to concentrate on a fight when you're whacking off every 5 minutes, with Kanye West blaring in the background.

    it gets passed around as much as shot bum glass jaw ducker cherry picker

    to me a robbery is a fight where 90 percent of fans think so

    if you interview 10 fans and 6 say 1 guy won and 4 other disagree no robbery because there is decent amounts of ppl disagreeing

    if 9 guys say a guy won and then the only 1 guy says the other guy won its probably a robbery

    if you cant argue a case for it its a robbery

    if its debatable than no

    Perfect example.

    Campillo-Cloud was NOT A ROBBERY. Campillo by 2 points, sure. It's 2 ****ing points, plus there were several close rounds (even if they were decisive to people like us on ESB who watch tons of fights every single Friday and Saturday).

    A clear win for Campillo.

    Just because the fight is with in two points or so, dosen't make it close. Campillo was the clear winner and any other decision is bull****. 114-112 was the lowest you could have it. IMO the score should have been wider.

    Same way with Matthysse-Alexander. Close fight, but clear win for mattysse.
