    Was Collazo robbed against Berto?

    I need help on how Collazo was “robbed” versus Berto. Maybe it’s because people see him as too Mayweather-ish, but for some reason people really don’t like Berto. And when a fighter people don’t like gets into a close fight, people like to say that the opposing fighter was robbed. I had personally scored the fight 115-112 for Berto. On my scorecard, Collazo could have won the fight had he won the last two rounds. But he lost both rounds clearly. Now maybe I could switch two rounds that I gave to Berto, and give Collazo a narrow 114-113, but it seems to be a bit easier to score the fight for Berto than vice versa, at least if you ignore the cheerleading commentary and Lederman’s terrible card. At any rate, robbery seems to be a bit too huge IMO. I would appreciate it if some people who had scored the fight for Collazo could give their scorecards.

    Not robbed but I had Collazo clearly winning there were many close round and I gave Collazo all of the close ones as I preferred his inside work to Berto's 1 or 2 flashy arm punch combos that look good but do no real damage.

      i had it by a point for collazo, but that's not a robbery. it's the 116-111 score. neither guy won the fight that wide in my opinion.

        I remember Lederman giving Collazo the first and seventh rounds. In first round, I thought Berto to be the more effective fighter, with Collazo merely catching Berto off balance with one shot. Berto recovered, and I thought he scored better before and after that. IN the seventh round, I remember Collazo trying to do his best prime RJJ personation, leaving his hands down by his waist, and being scored upon while not scoring. He was totally ineffective, and Lederman gave him the round.
