Or "robberies", depends if you felt they were or not.....there have been a fair few contentious shall we say decisions of the recent years in which the line share majority or vast majority scored the fight the opposite way to the judges, so where would you rank the following highest to lowest from 1-10. 1) Chisora Whyte I 2) Whyte Franklin 3) Teofimo Martin 4) Haney Loma 5) Ryder Jacobs 6) GGG Canelo I 7) Taylor Catteral 8) Ryder Smith 9) Mayer Baumgartner 10) Kovalev Ward I
Kova ward was the worst. He floored him, landed more was the Ring general and you could see how much more Ward was uncomfortable in there. He had to win 2 more round so that a draw would be acceptable.
1) Loma vs haney 2) Kovalev vs ward 1 3) Triple G vs Canelo To be honest with the exception of Taylor vs Catteral I think the other listed fights could have gone either way. Or at least I’d have to rewatch them. But the top three I have there stand out the most in my mind as far as Robberies
Out of the one I scored recently: 1) Canelo-GGG I It was what I call a highway robbery. It's violent, forceful, and they don't even pretend they weren't there. 2) Ward-Kovalev I I scored it for Ward, but I feel like you have to go with a very specific line of scoring and really focus to get that result. Another day, a tad different mindset and it would easily go to Kovalev. Seeing how he had all the belts, well, I can perfectly understand the controversy of the fight. Especially since you, me, and everybody else knows they were trying to score for Ward. 3) Taylor-Catteral based on reputation and on on the same level probably Haney-Lomachenko. Can't remember the rest. Mayer-Baumgardner felt like a gift.
These 3 are the biggest in recent times in big fights. The US especially Vegas is the capital of robberies. I would also add Fury Wilder 1 to the list I think it gets forgotten more because Fury put Wilder in the dirt twice after. In the first fight outside of the knock down rounds Fury won 10-2
This might not be all that popular, but it's the most accurate of any posted. 1) John Ryder-Callum Smith 2) Gennady Golovkin-Canelo Alvarez I 3) Sergey Kovalev-Andre Ward I 4) Teofimo Lopez-Sandor Martin 5) Devin Haney-Vasyl Lomachenko 6) Dereck Chisora-Dillian Whyte I 7) Dillian Whyte-Jermaine Franklin 8) Josh Taylor-Jack Catterall Not robberies. Ryder Jacobs Mayer Baumgartner
GGG vs Canelo 1 was a huge robbery. It was an easy fight to score, 8-4 to GGG was a very simple card to produce.
Taylor Catterall last? Wut? Jacobs Ryder not a robbery? Wut? Jacobs won the first 6-7 rounds comfortably…maybe could’ve given Ryder 1’round if you’re being generous then the last 5 rounds were closer, still 8-4 Jacobs.
Mayer vs Baumgardener was not a robbery OP, that was easy to score. You shouldn’t have had any problem scoring that fight, I assume you did as its made your list. Rewatch it
I remember it well, there was a lot of people who thought Mayer won, just listen to the crowd reaction at the end, Mayer was boxing well on the back foot and thought she edged it.
I had it Ryder 115-113. A very valid argument can be made for Ryder winning rounds 2 and 5 maybe even 4 and 6. Ryder won 7 through 11. The hype around Taylor-Catterall being this huge robbery is the biggest crock of **** I've ever heard. At best it was a one point fight 113-112 in either direction.
Kov Ward 1 and GGG Canelo 1 tied first Catterall Taylor and Ryder Smith tied second Haney Loma not a robbery
