Everybody is talking about Austin Trout could get robbed

[-Kev-]

DiBella does have power, but I would put him down to #4.

Haymon
GBP
Arum
DiBella
Shaw

Dude. If you're crafty enough, you could have went with so many different angles for the Pac/Bradley fight.

There was literally no way in Hell, you were going to rob Martinez that night, and get away with it.

Besides, Sergio's represented by Dibella. You think Dibella has juice like that?

LMAO.

Then Jose Armando Santa Cruz-Joel Casamayor. I'm not talking about juice the promoter has, I'm talking about clean, blatant robberies and the fact that this fight isn't mentioned among the bigger robberies of the last ten years is crazy. Santa Cruz won every single round clearly and STILL lost the decision. No investigation, nothing. It does happen.

I don't think Pacquiao vs. Bradley was fixed. Bradley winning that fight makes no financial sense whatsoever. Not for Top Rank, not for the casinos, not for Pacquiao. You just don't rob your cash cow when he clearly wins. Unless it had to do with betting lines but that's even a reach, IMO.

I think the judges were looking hard to give Bradley some of the earlier rounds and by the 10th, their scorecards were a lot closer than they should have been.

The only fight I look at, and wonder why the **** they robbed a certain fighter was the ODLH/Tito fight.

Even then, you'd think it was to set up a MEGA rematch, and rake in even more dough.

What happened? Why didn't they ever rematch? Did Tito duck? Did the plan backfire on Don King?

Anyone know?

If the fights close and Trout wins then they will say Alvarez was robbed.

That's true of just about every fight ever on this site, it seems, whether it was actually close or not.

There's no such thing as a consensus opinion around here. There are posters that will argue guys won fights, no matter how obvious it is they lost. Abril/Rios, Pac/Bradley, Mayweather/Cotto, all have multiple posters that argue the obvious loser won.

I'm even guilty of that, I don't think Pac/Marquez 3 was a robbery, and at least 8 out of 10 posters here do, and the majority of the media.

Jerry Roth was one of the 3 judges in that fight. He's one of the most crooked ****s in boxing. Look at his track record on BoxRec. Dude is one of the worst judges I've ever seen.

I hate that guy with a passion. You'd think his license would have been revoked by now. I mean what's the point of judging, when people already know the fix is in, when you're judging.

True, Haymon fighters never get robbed, they just do the robbing

You never know tho

The main problem I think is a lot of people just don't know how to score a fight.

As much of a robbery I feel Marquez-Pacquaio 3 was, it wasn't nearly was one sided as those 3 fights.

Thankfully, only very few, very very few think the loser won those fights.

Canelo vs Mayweather is the huge money fight. Haymon's priority would be to get that for Mayweather over helping Trout. He may not pay off the judges to help Canelo spcificially, but I don't think he would pay for Trout either.

Before any one says Lara is a Haymon fighter, he signed with Haymon AFTER the Williams fights.

Lara was robbed in the Vanes fight even though he was with Haymon.
