Name me one robbery in the UK...

[denboy]

Clinton Woods vs Glen Johnson was the only one I remember.

I mean random eastern european journeymen probably get ****ed all the time. But I doubt even they give a ****. I personally think the judging is more reliable even on the Mayweather/Undercard the scores were ludicrous. That Ponce De Leon got a near shut-out, and I thought he lost. Lacy landed one punch and won a landslide.

Germany is where you get robbed. Joe Calzaghe said Sven Ottke would have beaten Muhammed Ali in Germany. I'd certainly stick twenty quid on Ottke.

HAHAHAHA yer they're not even subtle about it in Germany.

Joe Calzaghe vs Peter Manfredo Jr

The fight was stopped early, we were all robbed of seeing that piece of **** Manfredo hit the deck hard!

Nigel Benn vs Thulani Malinga 1

hahaha it was me, but I just wanted to see Manfredo get hurt, thats why I felt robbed lol

Wasnt really a robbery though, Manfredo was clearly outclassed.

Of all the fights mentioned here so far, none could really be stretched to robbery I dont think, they are just a little controversial. The standard of judging in the UK is far superior to the judging in America. In America the judges seem to favour the man who has the undefeated record, you just have to look at the likes of Jermain Taylor, before Pavlik he lost 2, and nobody could complain if he lost 3, yet he was gifted 2 victories and a draw, that has never happened in the UK.

When Skelton lost to Danny Williams. Skelton clearly won that fight even though he was dirty as hell...

[Orange Sneakers]

Benn-Malinga was the worst. I don't know anybody who feels Benn won that one. When Paul Thomas raised Nigel's hand, I was ashamed to be British.

Eubank-Sherry, Eubank-Watson, Eubank-Close, Eubank-Amaral - all dodgy as **** but more to do with Puerto Rican judges who for whatever reason loved Chris Eubank

This isn't quite a robbery, but I always thought the Benn/Gerald McClellan fight was one of the worst referring jobs I've ever seen in my life. There were so many things wrong with that fight and I felt the referee was favoring Benn highly, especially in the first round (kept breaking them up for no reason and it appeared he was protecting Benn to buy him more time).

Yes

Joe Calzaghe vs Robin Reid

Although Joe is one of my favourite fighters, I had him losing this one.

This again? Bloody hell, even Reid said he'd lost the fight afterwards.

I'm struggling to think of any rank bad decisions but I can think of plenty of dodgy refereeing performances. Not that many on the Cortez scale though.
