The Pacman-Marquez robbery was world wide, that's why it won. The Punisher-Lara robbery was only in the hard core boxing community.

The 2,700 votes surely represents the WORLDWIDE consensus. LMAO!!!

Boxing has never been a consensus-based sport from the SPECTATORS but from the ring judges. I care less what people outside of the judging really.

What boxing can do is perhaps get 5 judges instead of 3 and make fights up to 15 to 20 rounds to see (relatively) "clearer" who is the better fighter...or until someone drops or quits like the old era of boxing.

Too many fights have gone through judging and the Marquez/Pacquiao fight is really too-close to really convince people who has won. Sure Judges make mistakes (that's a given, that's part of the game - the human factor) but they should work it out to minimize this.

STYLE POINTS vs. TECHNICAL POINTS is the classical issue here and this can go on and on without resolution. Thus I suggested the two points above to minimize or eliminate these.

Thought Marquez won but Lara-Williams was worse

this^^^^^^^^^^^^

[loui_ludwig]

LOL, its the fans who voted it as robbery of the year, not Ring mag.

[The Surgeon]

There were many worse decisions throughout the year but this was on the biggest stage of all hence the votes

Chisora got shafted pretty bad in Finland and Jamie Cox won a total screw job here in the UK over some Ghanaian fighter both worse than the Marquez result
