    Who "robbery" was worse: Rolly or Haney?

    Based on what we seen the last week, which decision was more hard to swallow.

    Keep in mind, Loma was crying after the fight & 63 year old Barraso will never get a chance like a title shot again.​

    Barroso got screwed the hardest. At 63 years old, he just won't be getting many more shots like that.

      Barroso got screwed way harder because you could tell Weeks was looking for the first chance to rescue Rolly. Visually it was so much worse.

          The whole Rolly fight stunk to high heaven. He was getting a shot at the title and the champ pops dirty. Not only they stripped the champ but they keep the fight and go with the guy that should had fought for the title in the first place, he had been the #1 guy for a while.
          Rolly was getting beaten up, was behind on the score cards and when he pushed Barroso down they counted it like a knock down. The first instance they saw that they could stop the fight they did. Tony Weeks refused to speak after the fight.

            Everything about the Rolly fight was suspect, from Rolly even being in it at all, being unranked at 140 and coming from a KO loss at 135, to the questionable stoppage. Was pretty obvious he was losing that fight. I've got all kinds of questions about the Loma fight since Top Rank was acting like Haney was the winner before the fight, but the Rolly fight was as blatant as it gets.

              Barroso. I thought Loma won his fight, but wouldn’t lose sleep giving the W to Haney. It was close. Barroso got a stoppage thrown his way for NO REASON. I’m still irked over that one. I wanted that old man to win. He at least gets a moral victory for his humiliation of Rolly, at least.

                A fight with a bunch of swing rounds isn't a robbery.

                A fight where the A-side fighter is protected by the ref IS a robbery.

                  Rolly for sure.

                  But I guess Barroso doesn’t have the right complexion for the protection.

                    Ref incorrectly stopping the fight is different but worse than bad judging imo
