    Luisito Espinosa - Cesar Sotto rematch. That was a glaring day light robbery. Although i doubt if it's recent. LOL

          i dont know what fight YOU were watching, but mayweather beat castillo.... go back and watch the fight with no sound, and score it. i can almost guarentee you see it differently.

            Hopkins-Calzaghe.

            Hopkins Taylor Bouts.

            Not Robberies, but imo, Hopkins took the Calzaghe bout, and at least one of the Tallor bouts

              how can i call it a robbery.;.....

              one judge has it 115-110 for pac
              one has it 115-110 for marquez
              theres the robbery right there

              to be up by five, when you've started down by four, you would have to win 10 rounds..... do you really think marquez win 10 out of 12 rounds?

                It means you won the fight but lost in the judges cards. The degree varies and the pac-marquez 1 could have gone either way just like the second one. It's a very controversial close fight that made boxing fans create millions of threads in all boxing forums arguing who won.

                  if you lose in the judge cards, but win the fight, it means there was a ko or dq...... how are those robberies?

                    See, that's what I mean. These arguments has been replayed a thousand of times before but nobody has convinced either other side yet. LOL.

                      Sorry, pal, Hopkins didn't win that Calzaghe fight. You have to throw punches to win a fight. You can't land a few lead rights (literally, I think he landed 4) and expect to coast the entire fight, which is obviously what he was thinking he could do. I'm surprised it wasn't a wider margin loss on the cards than it was.

                      The Taylor fights.....I could see it either way, but I still kind of leaned in Taylor's direction the second fight...or was it the first...can't remember for sure. The other....yeah, I thought HOpkins won it too, but hey....that's boxing.
