      When you say that a fight was a robbery that should mean that it was so clear a 2 year old could tell you who won...

      Oscar and Pernell could have gone either way and in absolutely no way was it a robbery, that word is far to strong.

      A robery suggests that the fight was dominated by 1 guy....PErnell dominated Oscar....you have not watched this fight in a long time I can tell-if you had robbery would not be something you agree with.

        I think a lot of you guys need to learn the meaning of robbery. Many of the fights mentioned were close. Robbery is 1 fighter dominating the other and losing the decision, or being given a draw.

          It was an absolute joke! Holyfield won 3 rounds tops. In 6 or 7 of the 12 rounds Holyfield was credited with landing fewer than 10 punches while Lennox was scoring 40+. Holyfield was slow as hell and missed all night while Lewis peppered him with jabs continuously.

          The AP scored it 117-111 for Lewis. Yet somehow 1 judge scored the fight in Evander's favor and another had Lewis needing to win the 12th round to squeak out a draw?

          Complete highway robbery.

            Foreman vs Briggs, foreman won dat for sure and brigss won. i think that it was planneed dat way so lewis wudnt have to fight foreman, coz the winner of foreman and briggs wud have to face lewis.

              Anything in Minnesota is basically fixed. Matt Vanda has won a couple I know of that he never should have.

                  Recent examples of straight-up robberies:

                  Montell Griffin vs. Rico Hoye
                  Fres Oquendo vs. Chris Byrd
                  Matt Vanda vs. Sam Garr
                  Grady Brewer vs. Sechew Powell

                  These weren't even close; they weren't close "The wrong guy won", like DLH vs. Sturm, Tarver vs. Johnson I, Tarver vs. Jones I, Byrd vs. Golota, Je. Chavez vs. Hernandez, etc. were - where clearly one guy didn't win more than seven rounds.

                    That one had a lot of close rounds niels. Good thing we are getting a rematch.
