Neither were robberies. People around here throw that word around way too much. Close fights that can go either way are not robberies -
That was a clear robbery, after watching it five times with no sound and in slow motion I scored it 7-5 for ( insert fighter they've been proclaiming would school or destroy their opponent)Comment

Neither were robberies. Algieri gave Ruslan a boxing lesson after round 2. Ruslan hardly landed after that, but caught punches from Chris for the rest of the night. Chris landed more, threw more, and controlled whether or not any engagement took place.
Canelo won the fight off of his work rate. While not landing upstairs all that often, he still scored downstairs with good body punching even when Erislandy was trying to clinch. I really wanted Lara to win this, but, I don't think he did.Comment

I thought Alvarez/Lara was closer.
I thought Algieri clearly controlled the fight against Provodnikov after the first couple rounds.Comment

Lara clearly won 5 rounds and arguably could have got the decision. I struggled to give Provodnikov rounds after the 1st round. Ruslan showed how important it is to have a jab because he didn't have one at all, also showed how important it is to go to the body because all he did was head hunt.Comment

they were both equally close. I thought Provodnikov-Algieri was a draw and that Lara beat Canelo by one point.Comment
