    My choice for biggest robbery is Chavez-Vera. Vera won the fight and he agreed to everything that Chavez wanted. I think Beltran was robbed in uk as well but I still think biggest robbery was Vera.

    I was about to mention this fight but even provodnikov says Bradley won the fight. Which is why I've lost a little respect for Marquez. Bradley beat Marquez more convincly and he claims robbery.

    Burns keeping his belt in a draw with Beltran was the worst imo. Burns pretty much got beaten pillar to post, suffered a KD too. Even the british commentators were giving out about the decision.

    Chavez-Vera I think many people had 6-4 to Vera, so while it was highly contraversial, I don't think having it 5-5 or 6-4 to Chavez was AS bad as giving Burns 6 or more rounds in his fight vs. Beltran.

    Malianaggi - Broner was a close fight and a SD was ok, no robbery there.

    But no way you can give Broner more than 6 rounds. Also take into account the points reduction Broner should have had for kicking Paulie in the balls: robbery :deal

    I have to go with Burns and Beltran. That one was bad. Reminded me of Rios and Abril. I think sometimes guys forget what a real robbery is. That fight can't even be close for it to be a robbery. If the fight was somewhat close, and the guy you want to win doesn't get the decision that doesn't make it a robbery.

    We never what would of happened. I couldn't quite call it a robbery. I'm thinking froch probably would of closed the show. This is worse then robbery. There's no conclusion.

    A poll on here for Broner-Malinaggai had 157 votes. 69 (44%) said Broner won, 33 (21%) had it a draw and 55 (35%) had Malinaggai winning. I remember press scores were similar though I can't find them now. That shows a close fight where it was a case of quantity vs quality. No robbery.


    Press scores for Vera - Chavez Jr showed 53 scores for Vera, 6 draws and 0 for Chavez Jr.

    For Burns - Beltran, 44 press scores were collected and all 44 had Beltran winning.

    I think this gives a good indicator that both Chavez - Vera and Burns - Beltran were robberies, Broner - Malinaggai was a close fight.

    But if you asked them how many points they believe Broner should've been deducted and take that off Broner's score.....I believe it would've been more 100% Paulie.
