Not robbery at all. The commentary (Boxnation) was obviously biased in Burns' favour, but he won a lot of rounds with better quality punching, especially lefts to Kats' body.
I ended up giving it 8-4 to Burns, though I could understand people giving Kats the fourth and maybe a share of the twelfth round on workrate. It was pretty easy to score apart from that. Most of Kats' work on the ropes didn't bother Burns - his guard was tight and true and a few left hooks got through to the jaw but he was never bothered.
I think we're gonna see a lot more twelve-rounders with Burns. He doesn't have much power but his upper body movement is good and he knows how to avoid getting banged.
