    Learn the meaning of robbery before you blatantly use the word.

    A robbery is when one boxer has no case at all that he won the fight. Eg Holyfield/Lewis JCC/Pernell and so on

    A close fight is
    Cotto/Mosley
    Hagler/Leonard



    Berto does have a strong case he won the fight. So it’s not a Robbery.

    Good thread. Now if we only could get the entire Boxingscene establishment to agree on this and just agree to disagree on who won because it was that close.

    We would come a long way. And then we can move on to talking about Mayweather and Calzaghe.

      There was a thread like this just hours ago, by King Jafe Joffer.

      Wanna know what happened to it? It got buried in the pages by people who'd rather call "robbery!" whenever a their guy loses a close decision.

        yep.... tossing the word robbery around everytime you don't agree only makes the sport look worse.

              Agreed. People dont seem to get the difference between a close fight and a robbery.
