Comments Thread For: BoxingScene.com's 2014 Robbery of The Year

[Teetotaler]

I played with my phone throughout that fight. What an eyesore.

If you actually seen it then you would know bey got school and Vasquez was robbed

[UTEP]

Robbery of the year for me was Herrera/Benavidas. Escandon/Cave was pretty damn disgraceful too though

[Luilun]

Madaina vs Floyd 1 was a huge robbery

[Showtime..]

Is this thread filled with ******s? It's Herrera-Garcia and end thread.
Make a case for Bradley-Chavez or Bey-Vasquez, but that's it.

[Rpgboxen]

Cave-Escandon has my vote for robbery of the year.
Laurence Cole for worst referee of the year for the Salido-Lomachenko fight.
Texas commission is a disgrace.

algiere-provo should not be there in the first place...algiere outboxed provo in the later rounds...

pac-bradley 1 is a robbery...no fan/boxer in his right mind would say bradley won...even bradley himself conceded defeat but changed his mind when the judges gifted him with a win...

Robbery of the decade:

Floyd Mayweather Jr MD12 Marcos Maidana

Runner up:

Floyd Mayweather JR W12 Jose Luis Castillo

Honorable Mention:

Floyd Mayweather Jr SD12 Oscar De La Hoya

You're sick: Mayweather clearly has beaten Maidana, he won a close fight vs De La Hoya and had a gift probably only in the Castillo fight. Boxing is the sport of hitting without being hit not to throw wide punches like Maidana does.

Herrera did not get robbed vs Benavidez, herreras punches all came when bena decided to lay in the ropes for about a minute of the round with his guard up. Herrera hit him with the weakest body shots I've ever seem, they had no effect. Then Benavidez would rock him with a string uppercut and outbox him the other two minutes of the round with much stronger punches. He landed 50 more punches to the head than Herrera, and was much more accurate, while his punches were 10x as strong. Herrera didn't land one single punch that even snapped Benavidez head back or even seemed to bother him a little but. Benavidez was rocking Herrera with uppercuts and straight rights and left hooks all night and they hurt Herrera.

he won the fight, when you have that many people ringside scoring the fight for Herrera, you really have no argument otherwise

''Five months before he was forced to spend all night waiting to be let out of his cage..''

I didn't feel that fight was a robbery. Provo hardly did a thing after the second round.

Algieri/Provodnikov was not even close to a robbery.

I couldn't find the rounds for Algieri to win that one, he was too deep in the hole (or chained in the cage). I re-scored it not long ago.

The only thing that was wrong with the scoring of the Algieri-Provonikov fight was that it wasn't scored a UD for Chris. I personally thought that after the second round that Chris easily dominated the plodding Russian. And if it was such a robbery why towards the end of the fight was Roach telling his fighter that he needed a knock out to win? If I remember correctly I believe Andre Ward also scored the fight for Chris.

Algeri did not do enough to TAKE Provo's strap from him - should have been a DRAW, so YES it's a robbery.......

Get your eyes examined - Benevidez was getting tagged all night......

I laughed my ass off when the Cave decision was read.


Herrera though, Jesus Christ the dude can't catch a break

Why were you were laughing at the Cave decision?

[Kay D]

Not only was Herrera robbed of the fighter of the year award after being robbed by Herrera, he's now being robbed of the robbery of the year award. Can't catch a break.

This is so tragicially hilarious that I can't laugh. The irony is painful.

Shoutout to Lara vs Canelo and Bradley vs Chaves as well.
