    The diaz,malinaggi and cotto,clottey were not robberies,they were closefights and i had diaz and cotto both winning by 1 pt. So far the onlyrobbery was martinez /cintron. As for maidana/ortiz i think that is the best fight of the year so far,and although ortiz gave up at the end he was on his way out and hell just live to fight another day i think fans have been a little harsh on him,he should be back and i think its a good possibility that he may one day be an excellent champ he showed more balls prior to that than lot of guys show in a career.Give the kid a break hes got big time power and hes a good fighter just didnt fight a smart fight i think if he learns from this he will be a future champ . Id still pick him over most of the jw.

    it wasn't just a robbery but a BLATANT ROBBERY :deal

    The judges had scored diaz to win before the fighters had
    entered the ring.....DISGUSTING

    Strum-Ghevor was a total robbery, so was Zbik-Spada on the same card.

    :D I witnessed that debacle live in person. Even after being robbed 3 times Martinez handled the adversity gracefully and with class.

    Can't say the same about his counterpart who clearly was the beneficiary of a negligent ref.

    Those were two closely contested and closely scored fights. You can't claim those were robberies.

    Oh yeah! That was so horrible somehow I found it funny.

    Don't forget about John-Juarez and recent candidate Nietes-Vargas.
