Do people overuse the word robbery in boxing?

robbery, exposed, hypejob !!! well but good news is sanctioning body already ordered rematch between chocolito and thai dude

Yeah I'd say robbery is generally overused.

Only when a fight isnt close and there's a clear winner. Some people like to use the term if their preferred/hated fighter loses/wins. It's pretty pathetic people calling the Kovalev and GGG fights a robbery, both were close. Even the Chocolatito wasn't a robbery (though I believe that was the most controversial fight of the 3 mentioned) judges gave round 10 to ward so he could win. thats a robbery when the judges "mess up" or "mess up" on purpose. they didnt let kovalev win and they werent going to under any circumstances since that was a dominant round. he had to kill ward to win.

well when evey single fight is a robbery what should we say?

on NSB, when your preferred fighter loses or comes off worse in a very close contest/decision... It's a robbery. What I be thinking

Also calling top fighters bums after a loss or a close decision is a joke haha, these boys have never stepped in the ring in their life yet make these ridiculous comments.

what i find hysterical is that people are talking about the golovkin fight as a robbery and they're ignoring the real robbery of the evening, the chocolatito robbery. that was one of the more significant robberies in boxing in the last decade. gonzalez was p4p on a lot of lists, and i thought he was handily winning that fight. thai was tough, but he was missing or landing on gloves or when gonzalez was rolling. gonzales landed much cleaner, harder punches in most of the rounds. that knockdown, while you have to call what the referee called at the time, was from a clash of heads. i think that "set the tone" for the judging of the fight, and gave more credit to the power of the thai than he deserved. judges were giving him rounds based on their perception of his power, which was warped because of a kncokdown that was really a massive head clash. thai also lost a pt for headbutts, meaning that he loses the extra pt for the round he won via knockdown. that was a robbery. Aye. Re-watched it recently and it was pretty bad. Really threw a wrench in the works.

Exposed and robbery, two words I've started hating as they are used a bit too much "Amateur style" is also overused.

Yeah it's annoying. Whenever people don't agree with a decision in a close fight there are some that start calling it a robbery. I thought Kovakev won the Ward fight but thought it was by a round or two, so when the scorecards were read I disagreed but didn't start saying robbery nonstop. If you score the fight and have a fighter winning by a round or two, it's not a robbery if the other guy wins by a round or two. A robbery is when you saw a guy clearly win 8 rounds but didn't get his hand raised at the end of the fight.

Exposed and robbery, two words I've started hating as they are used a bit too much I agree, unless it was a Bradley-Pacquiao 1 type decision then I don't want to hear those words used

Still haven't watched the Chocolatito fight, been too busy, will give it a little watch in a few days

As the title says, people seem to say 'robbery' whenever there's a close fight. GGG vs Jacobs Ward vs Kovalev Pac vs Floyd Seems a bit childish to label fights as robberies, I can see why people think a decision went one way or another but unless it was a landslide and the judges totally phuck it up then it seems stupid to say it. RJJ in the olympics was a phucking robbery! Not a close points decision yes we do...

Robbery: Canelo getting a draw against Floyd. Canelo scoring 118 and 119 against Cotto. Canelo again scoring some 117 vs Lara. In close future, vs 37 y.o. Golovkin Canelo scoring 120.
