Are there any "robberies" where the house fighter didn't win?

    Collazo lost a close fight but he definitely not in his hometown. The fight took place in Boston and Collazo's New York boy..

      Oscar-Mosley 2 is the first that comes to mind. Never thought I'd see Oscar robbed in Vegas...especially that late in his career.

        hopkins-calzaghe..

        arguably too close to be called a robbery. calzaghe was the one HBO was backing going in too and vegas is far from hopkins' home town, its the best i got though.

        the ref seemed against ward in oakland against abraham, the judges got it right though.

          Agreed on the latter (not the former). That said, as much as NY and Beantown hate each other, Collazo was fighting a couple hours from home while Hatton was on a different continent.

            I've seen many respectable posters give it to Mosley, I've watched that fight many times and could only give Mosley 3 rounds.

              I can't think of one. I thought Trinidad beat Oscar but lots of people thought Oscar got robbed.If you see it that way then that would be one since Oscar was the house fighter.

                  i thought it was too close to be called a robbery. tito too. had them 115-113 and 115-114 respectively. very close fights, oscar ahead in both though.
