When the "A-side" gets robbed of a win...

[KillaMane26]

I think it be set ups..... Like Bradley vs Pacquiao. I seriously think Arum was behind it, it 100% benefited him, and he didn't seem upset his star fighter got robbed.

Arum was rubbing his hands like Birdman

I know what the thread title said. But then u said he was the most robbed boxer in the history of the sport and that’s complete bs. U didn’t say, most robbed A-side(which would still be bull****).

Exactly this.

I was thinking of instances when the house fighter appeared to do enough to win only for the judges give a suspect win to the "B-side". Only ones I could think of off the top of my head:

Pacquiao/Bradley: probably the gold standard for this rare phenomenon.

Vences/Lopez Vargas: Vences was supposed to win and most thought he did enough but the judges gave it to the Mexican. It was a fairly close fight tho.

Pacquiao/Horn: This doesn't really count since they were fighting in the Hornet's backyard and it was an ugly brawl and fairly close.

Moloney/Franco II: In the rematch, Top Rank's Maloney appeared to have a stoppage win when Franco suffered eye date from a punch. The ref ruled it a clash of heads and the replay team inexplicably agreed despite the video clearly showing no headbutt.

A few aren't great examples, can anyone add to the list?

That wasn’t so much the A side getting robbed, that was the standard TR trilogy set up. Manny ain’t fall for that with Crawford. Of course we didn’t know it at the time, we just thought it was a pure robbery.

I also don’t think Manny got robbed against Horn. He just got beat.

Neither Bradley or Horn Vs Pacquiao were robberies.

No, perhaps the term "robbery" isn't the most accurate for any of these and maybe that's kind of the point. There aren't many occasions when the one with promotional backing or the perceived revenue generator gets "robbed" and there aren't many instances where they don't get the blatant "benefit of the doubt" for close rounds on judges cards.

It's interesting that there haven't been any concrete examples of bad judging not going in the favor of the "A-side" fighter. If it was truly bad/incompetent judging then you'd have more variance all over the place.

In the Pacquiao/Bradley example, even the bad judging that went against Bradley offered up a financial benefit for the promotion of a trilogy that probably should have never happened.

canelo the a-side v ggg first fight, i thought canelo lost the fight but he was only awarded a draw in that one so he could say maybe he was robbed of his win being the a-side, i mean for example i remember ward got awarded a win and the belts against kovalev first fight, that was a classic a side win imo

I think pac is the most robbed boxer in the history of the sport.

Ever heard of James Toney?

CJ Ross giving Canelo a tie against Mayweather in an 11-1 fight comes to mind.
