      What makes the fight a robbery isn't the fact that it was close fight scored for one guy; it's a robbery because it was a single round from being a majority draw instead of a 119-110 raping. Either guy could've been the winner, but that scoring is that unqualified judge's attempt to marr something beautiful. All that said the greatness of this fight shouldn't be tarnished by the awful scoring, but we, the boxing public, must do our part to hold this judge accountable. And part of that means calling attention to the scoring, if that means using the word robbery, then that's a burden this fight will have to bear for a while.

      I'm reminded of Barrera V Morales the first time. Larry Merchant went nuts after the fight saying Barrera should not win this fight by a 2 point round because that was no knockdown! Then he complained when Barrera lost. The point of that is that regardless of the immediate reaction to the scoring, the beauty of the fight itself willl endure long after people forget that nuances decided things in an unpopular direction at the time. Holyfield V Lewis 1 was similar (a draw are you serious?!)

        You're obviously too ****** to understand the context.

            119-110 makes it a robbery... that judge was bought off by goosen or haymon.
