The sentiment that "a loss is a loss, no room for debate" is untrue anymore.
When corrupt judges and promoters obviously steal a fight, as they did in Loma vs Haney, Romero vs Barroso, Lopez vs Ortiz....and a few others this past year....what is really happening is that people are losing interest because anyone with a brain can see that judging and the sport itself is becoming more and more a joke, not a real sport, but more of a setup than anything.
And people will now say stop whining, those fights weren't robberies, a close fight is a close fight, blah blah....
That has been said many times, and it's fine to hold that viewpoint. Especially if you dislike Loma, Barroso, Ortiz and the other fighters who have been robbed by corruption. But the fact is, many people see clearly how corrupt the sport has become and so they don't care about it.
I personally could care less what corrupt judges or refs say or do, and fighters "official records" have become funny to me. Loma is the real champ, unless you are going by the corrupt system. Barroso is the real belt holder, not Romero. Canelo has at least one loss to GGG, and likely two. Ortiz beat Lopez.
Many if not most fans could care less about the "official" crap, we all have eyes and know who won these fights. It is yet another reason why the sport has become more and more of a joke.
