2 judges had Roy winning on points when he got stopped by Lebedev in Russia. Roy is my boy but that would have been a robbery, he won 4 rds tops.
2 judges scored Ward-Froch only 7-5 for Ward, Froch was one round from a majority draw, absolutely insane.
I could not remember the scorecards from Lebedev-Jones Jr, but you're right, one (not two) judge had Jones ahead, the American judge of course, but still, dsigraceful judging.
As for Ward-Froch, yep, insane to think about how close it was to a draw with that scoring... The only one who had it right was the British judge, funny enough.
bernard didn't win that fight
who didn't get the close decision
Read. And many people thought he did, I was not one of them. The fight was close, and in his home country, and he didn't get it.
gorres got robbed against montiel in his hometown...bias ref deducted 2 points off him for having a wet floor on his corner and for holding which was not even close to what abril did against rios.
House fighter as in, in his country vs a foreign fighter who didn't get the close decision, Bernard Hopkins vs Joe Calzaghe.
Clottey actually lives in the New York, while Cotto lives in Puerto Rico. Clottey was robbed in his own adopted home state of New York.

Oscar-Mosley 2 is the first that comes to mind. Never thought I'd see Oscar robbed in Vegas...especially that late in his career.
i thought it was too close to be called a robbery. tito too. had them 115-113 and 115-114 respectively. very close fights, oscar ahead in both though.
I can't think of one. I thought Trinidad beat Oscar but lots of people thought Oscar got robbed.If you see it that way then that would be one since Oscar was the house fighter.
Oscar-Mosley 2 is the first that comes to mind. Never thought I'd see Oscar robbed in Vegas...especially that late in his career.
I've seen many respectable posters give it to Mosley, I've watched that fight many times and could only give Mosley 3 rounds.
Collazo lost a close fight but he definitely not in his hometown. The fight took place in Boston and Collazo's New York boy..
Agreed on the latter (not the former). That said, as much as NY and Beantown hate each other, Collazo was fighting a couple hours from home while Hatton was on a different continent.
hopkins-calzaghe..
arguably too close to be called a robbery. calzaghe was the one HBO was backing going in too and vegas is far from hopkins' home town, its the best i got though.
the ref seemed against ward in oakland against abraham, the judges got it right though.
