It was a close fight, but that Lara fight was brutal enough to have judges suspended... that wins hands down.

Not a robbery. There were even a couple of boxing reporters that scored it for JMM but when they watched it a 2nd time, they scored it a draw. Even at boxrec.com, they have a list of media/analyst scorecards. JMM have more vote but there were a lot of draws and a lot of vote too for Pac. Edited my post due to a mistake of me saying its 1/3 each.
As far as the voting, their fans, they hate certain fighters and they like certain fighters.Last edited by loui_ludwig; 12-23-2011, 11:17 PM.

Well, you have Williams-Lara even though i scored it for Paul(with biased) and Alexander-Matthyse.
My vote goes to Khan-Peterson fight. I am no fan Khan but he lost due to hometown decision. I was rooting for Peterson but he lost the last couple of rounds. Khan might be running but he was landing punches.

Even at boxrec.com, they have a list of media/analyst scorecards, its almost even. 1/3 have it for JMM, 1/3 have it for Pac, and the other 1/3 have it a draw. Even some media said its not a robbery.

For the boxrec, here it is:http:http://boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:1595865. Looking at it again, it seems JMM got more votes. But what i am saying is its another close fight. I edited my original post.Last edited by loui_ludwig; 12-23-2011, 11:19 PM.

Most people said it was close. So how can one call it the robbery of the year when it was close?
No robbery .... there were real robberies but not the Marquez vs Manny fight.
A robbery implies that the one who won clearly won but was not given the decision. Again, not the case.
The Helenius vs Chisora was probably the last robbery that I saw but there were others as mentioned already.

Also the fight should have been a draw, but of course the pinoy gets a free win
