Was Dirrell-Froch the biggest robbery of 2009?

[Earl-Hickey]

No, it was a bit of a robbery, but it wasn't that bad. I thought it was a clos fight, and both of them were awful, it should of been the first fight where they both lost at the same time!

Dirrell didnt dominate ****. You can make a case for him winning but not such a convincing one as to say he was robbed.

Funeka vs Guzman was an actual robbery and the worst of the year I saw.

williams-martinez was a bigger robbery imo but for some reason the yanks seem to be quiet about that one.

How was that a robbery? Whichever way people saw the fight (I had it a draw at first, and then one round to Martinez upon second viewing), it was razor-thin and the only thing wrong about the ending was that one bad scorecard.

People need to stop calling close fights robberies. It's only a robbery if the fight was not close, and the rightful winner didn't get it.

For me, robbery of the year came down to a battle between Funeka-Guzman and Martinez-Cintron, not Dirrell-Froch at all.

funeka-guzman and vanes-ouma both fights imo had the clear winner clearly losin

I still don't know how some people can even dare attempt to say that Froch won it. Dirrell truly outclassed Froch and made him his *****.

even though dirrell ran a lot... i didnt see anything out of crotch to give him the win.... diaz and malinaggis first fight was bad too....sergio vs cintron was crap as well... those were the big three though

[letsgobrady]

For me, it was one of those fights that I would have given both guys the loss if I could've.

Boxing should expand No Contests to fights where both guys lose the fight

Cintron-Martinez was the biggest most blatant robbery of 2009.

i agree wit the bolded and i forgot sergio got jerked in the cintron fight

Dirrell is young, he'll recover from that slimey ass decision.

Imo both Dirrell and Martinez should have won there respective fights by a close decision. But what really annoys me are those americans who say dirrell landed the cleaner more effective punches on froch so he should have won the fight, while at the same time defending paul williams who got outboxed by the cleaner and more effective puncher in Martinez.

They can't have it both ways.
