Robbery !!! ... They do happen.

I'm not sure if that fight was a robbery because i wasnt paying close enough attention to the rounds but i thought Rosado won.

Like Bojangles said, people have this thing in their heads that a robbery has to be a complete blowout given to the wrong fighter. But if a guy clearly wins majority rounds, thats also a robbery, just look at Judah-Lucas.

People seem to think judges are just incompetent, but thats bull****. How are 90% of the public seeing the fight for the loser but 3 super trained judges with years in the sport and boxing knowledge get it wrong? Cmon this is all corruption. Judges are rewarded for scoring in a certain fighters favor with kickbacks and crap like that.

I agree. There are too many examples of ridiculously wide scores where the judges handed the victory to the wrong man. I might not agree with every score of every close fight, but fully understand it's just my opinion. When you get a fight like Abril-Rios, there's no way anyone can tell me a professional judge can honestly score it for "Bam Bam."

The Hagler-Leonard fight is infamous for that example; but, in theory, a fighter can score more punches in the final seconds of a round than his opponent did earlier in the same round. It often happens that you'll get an aggressive guy who's pressing the action and throwing a lot of punches, but isn't hitting his mark. The other guy might not be throwing as many punches, and might be fighting off the back foot, but he's landing the greater number of clean shots. I'm not trying to say Leonard should've won that fight, mind you, just that ineffective aggression is often given too much weight.

^Very True!

i saw a close fight. they were both doing good work, but briscoe should have been instructing his charge to close out the show in impressive fashion and press the action with PUNCHES.

you're able to obviously take his punches, you can walk him down, you can win. rosado gave that fight away.
