    John-Juarez wasn't that bad.

    Yes John won the fight but it was close.

    I didn't see Nietes-Vargas.

    Martinez/Cintron outside of the KD/KO bull**** (which was ****ed up, the ref screwed up) was closer than people make it out to be, the KD/KO blurred opinion a bit... I thought Martinez won, but it wasn't a landslide.

    I had Diaz beating Paulie, and I'm tired of everyone bringing up the one scorecard as some reason to call it a robbery, when they forget in the end what happened in the ring.. which was a close fight.. where I thought Diaz took it.

    I don't know, I can't remember clearly John/Juarez.. but I remember not being as pissed about it being a draw as everyone else was.. it too was a close fight.

    How about David Haye robbing fans worldwide by pussying out of fights against both of the Klitschko's, only to sign to fight against Valuev....who even an ancient Holyfield could beat.....

    A close fight cannot be a robbery. It's close - it can go either way. Clottey and Malignaggi crying about it after the fact, rather than doing their job in the ring is why they lost. End of story.

    Malignaggi/Diaz is a canidate it can be called the robbery of August, but Cintron/Martinez takes it.

    Yeah this.

    Fights named by the TS were close. No robbery there.

    That might be ok for a fighter of any other race but for a mexican fighter that is not good at all. He lost alot of fans in that fight. Im Mexican and watched that with my fam and friends and none of them care for him anymore. He quit. The Mexican mentality is go in there to KO or get KOed. Simple as that.

    There have been a lot of robberies this year. Malignaggi had terribly onesided judges.
    Here's a fun little parable to follow. If jurors in court are paid off to find you guilty. And you are found guilty, weather you are or not doesn't make a difference. You are going to jail- which is why innocent people go to jail. One sided judges suck. So weather or not you think Malignaggi deserves a win for the fight, we need to fix the system. Even if you had Diaz edging him out (which i didn't) , you should want a "fair" redo because you love the sport of boxing. Bad judges make for bad boxing. I think the Martinez robbery wins for Robbery OTY though.

    Paulie-Diaz was bad, but not in my top 3. Martinez-Cintron, Corley-Sanchez and Gevor-Sturm (and probably even John-Juarez) were all worse in my mind.

    This is the worst by far, maybe ever. Cotto-Clottey? No way, Cotto won a close fight. Diaz got a gift, but no robbery here either. Martinez was
    robbed blind in every way possible all in the same fight.

    A guido, precisely, making him a disgrace. A guido is a douchebag with lipstick.
