    You're so unoriginal, I bet you even bore yourself.

    I don’t respect your ability to score fights. You actually listed Lara—Castano and Spence—Porter.

    And you go and confirm my assertion. Do you have actual talking points like a political pundit. God damn you're....... :sleep:

    Isn't this a thread about the WORST decisions - I mean REALLY bad - of the year?

    How can Spence vs Porter fall into this category? I don't get it!

    Also GGG vs D'chenko was not a great robbery. Close fight, where GGG had his hands full, but a fair decision, imo.

    The same with Taylor vs Persoon. Very close fight, that could have gone either way (maybe a slight edge to Persoon?), but not a terrible robbery. Incidentally, this was a fantastic fight - possibly the most intense, hard-fought female match I have ever seen!

    Perhaps I thought D-Chenko should have been awarded the win because he landed more power punches in 11/12 rounds.

    Perhaps my scorecards are not determined by deep seeded emotional allegiances to fighters.

    Actually that's exactly what determines all of your scorecards. You're one of the most one note unoriginal worthless posters on the site. You add zero to any discussion.

    I feel like we’ve gotten off on the wrong foot. I’d like for you to reference some fights where the victor was outlanded in power punches during 11 of 12 rounds and we’ll take it from there.

    Quality vs quantity is a thing.

    It is a thing. There should be examples to draw from.

    Some of the fights listed were close, and not robberies. Spence-Porter? GGG-Dchenko? No, close but not outright robberies.

    Canelo-Kovalev was going to be a robbery....look at Moretti scoring rounds 1 and 2 for Canelo, who barely threw a punch in those 6 minutes...but Canelo stopped the pre-determined outcome by KO'ing Krusher.

    Smith-Ryder was a robbery. Had all the elements of a fix going in like Smith's next fight would be a big money maker for the
    promoters. Ryder defeated Smith in any possible judging category over a majority of rounds. And it wasn't difficult to see
    who was winning.

    Sir, you need to understand that in this forum, its only a robbery if Canelo Alvarez is the beneficiary of such a decision.

    Crolla's last fight was a total disgrace.

    He was clearly beaten but because it was his big goodbye he got the pre-filled cards. And Sky commentary saying how "nobody cares if it's a bad decision" on Crolla's big night.
