    It's tough to say because I don't think there was one particular decision where everyone thought a certain fighter should have gotten the nod.

    I thought Lara and Herrera beat Canelo and Garcia respectively, but that wasn't unanimous amongst all the fans. Many were split regarding the Lara-Canelo decision. I think there was a majority that felt Herrera beat Garcia but it wasn't everyone.

    I always compare robberies to Chisora-Helenius. I saw some bad decisions this year, but I wouldn't necessarily put them in the Chisora-Helenius category.

      Lopez-Casteneda is another one.

      Jessie Vargas lost his last fight vs Anton Novikov, have no idea what the judges were watching that night.
      I had Vargas losing to both Anton & Khabib. He did jack crap in those fights.

      He does have decent wins over Josesito & Forbes which I just found out about, so he isn't a complete scrub.

        I thought Lara nicked the fight against Canelo by one point 115-114. That's definitely not tantamount to a robbery, especially when the two fighters have completely contrasting styles that certain judges might prefer.

            I scored the Lara/Canelo fight 7-5 for Lara.
            How can a 7-5 fight be a robbery? that means it was a close fight that could go either way

              Watch it and try to understand why Algieri Won.

                I know why he won. It was close but he deserved to win. I only picked Provodnikov because I'm a homer. If I watch it again I'll have Algieri like 114-113 or something like that

                  I wouldn't have been mad if Provo got the nod against Algieri but Steve Weisfeld's 117-109 card was ridiculous

                      I gave Provo like 2 rds. How do people think that fight was close?
