Was Dirrell-Froch the biggest robbery of 2009?

It's not even in the top 3. Is behind Funeka-Guzman, Martinez-Cintron and Malignaggi-Diaz I. It was a very close fight but I don't think Dirrell deserved to take away the World Championship belt after how he fought. He needed to do more.

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.

The reason why people call Williams-Martinez a robbery is because of the 119-110 scorecard. Assuming that judge scored the first round 10-10, he gave 10 of the last 11 rounds to Williams. That opens people's eyes and makes them start to wonder if there was more going on behind the scene.

You didn't think that was close? Come on, realistically it couldn't have gone more than a round or two either way. That's not a robbery. The scores were bad, but they could just as well have been too wide for Malignaggi as well.

I only just noticed, The Ring had froch winning 114-113.

This is what you Brits will never understand. You don't have to TAKE the title from the champion. You have to win more rounds than him. When the bell rings, it doesn't matter who the champion is. When the bell rings, pretend like you are watching two identical twins fighting each other. If you did that, 10 times out of 10 you'd see Dirrell as the winner. And please don't talk to me about holding, you are after all the country that spawned Ricky "The Hugman" Hatton.

Dirrell 116-111. 9 rounds to 3.

Benoist's bad score still doesn't constitute a robbery in itself, because it can be argued that neither man clearly won the fight. If, however, it was clear that Martinez had a shutout (which wasn't the case), and Williams instead got the decision, then it would be a robbery.

A true robbery is when the obvious winner of the fight doesn't get the decision. Funeka is the absolute best example of this from '09.

Froch vs. Dirrell was a fair decision.

The worst robbery of 2009 was Martinez-Cintron, and Funeka-Guzman was very bad too.
