What is the difference between a close fight and a robbery?

Depends there can be close fights that are robberies i.e fights that are close but one guy should have clearly won and close fights that could have gone either way.

 

You just proved my point. Any sincere and honest appraisal will admit it was a close fight but Lomasexuals like you can’t.

 

Close fight - Usyk Fury, Bivol Beterbiev, Wardley Clarke I, Jonas Ryan

Robbery - Hughes Kambosos, Barboza Mccomb, Smith Ryder, Jonas Mayer

Using examples of course.

 

You continue to prove that you are a phony calling yourself honorable then disrespecting a great man like Lomachenko and using a term like Lomasexuals. Hardly the kind of talk an honorable educated man would use your agenda is very clear and you have no honor.

 

Technically wouldn't a robbery involve something tangible being lost, like a Champion losing a belt?

If a challenger loses a title fight that fans thought he won, I can understand the outrage, but technically he didn't lose something he had going into the fight, so he wasn't actually robbed of anything he had. I understand that in boxing fans argue that you can be robbed of a win, something a fighter arguably earns. But that's not being rewarded for your work rather having something stolen from you. So to be robbed of something in the technical sense you have to be in possession of something first and then have it taken away.

Fighters who lose a decision aren't actually robbed of anything they had, unless it's a Champion losing their title. They still get paid, and they still get credit from the fans who thought they won.

 

Only if violence is involved.

It's theft, not robbery, when you break into an eighty year old lady's pad and steal her pension money when she is down at the strip joint on ladies night.

But if you stalk that old lady when she gets off the bus, punch her hard to the back of her old head, knock her off her walker sending her to the ground, kick her vigorously to her ribs, stomp on her head , and then make off with her handbag....thet's a robbery.

 

it's the homeless person's once they possess it.

 

I am full of honour while you are just blind.

 

A robbery is a fight the winner had no case to win. A close fight is a fight both guys had a case to win or that 1 or 2 rounds could have swung.

 

Interesting thing here is in the early days a belt changing hands via decision was controversial even if the challenger clearly won.

 

Those who want respect give respect and you don’t pass the test.

 

I suppose - especially post-Floyd - a fighter can lose his 0.

Bivol lost his 0 and his title (but then Artur would have lost his 0 and THREE belts if Bivol had got the nod)

Another reason why I think a draw would have been the best call in that fight - both would have lost their perfect record but kept their belts

 

And Beterbiev would have kept his 100% KO record. But the judges aren't scoring knowing the other judges scores. They are trying to score each round correctly.

IMO there should only be a draw if the fighters have the exact same number of points. If 2 conflicting scorecards aren't equal the more lopsided one should get it. Which in your scenario would still be Beterbiev.

 

A Robbery is determined by rediculous score cards.

 

On this group it seems to be when the result doesn't match their RBR scoring!!
