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

[Weebler I]

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.

my take on it fwiw, I won't say it was a robbery but I didn't think Algieri won

Re-scored Provo-Algieri last night

R.1 - Provo (10-7)
R.2 - Algieri
R.3 - Provo
R.4 - Even
R.5 - Algieri
R.6 - Provo
R.7 - Provo (close)
R.8 - Algieri
R.9 - Algieri (close)
R.10 - Even
R.11 - Provo (close)
R.12 - Provo

116-112 Provodnikov
6-4 Provo in rounds, w/two even.

I read somewhere Algieri would have had to have 8 rounds to have won the fight after the k/ds. He didn't do that, and added to the shape of Algieri's face, eye wrecked and nose bleeding there's no way I could say he won the fight. You'd have had to give absolutely everything to him.

Algieri was throwing the jab out non-stop, but it often didn't land and when it did there was nothing on it.

Lara vs Canelo??????

That Tyson Cave fight was definitely a robbery doe

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


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

Seriously, Provodnikov vs Algirie a robbery?

The boxingscene poll had 60% for Algirie, 30% for Provodnikov, and 10% draw. Most fans did not think it was a robbery.

I only watched the fight live and I honestly did not score it. But in my minds eye I honestly don't believe I gave Ruslan a round after the second. So, if I had scored the way I saw it it would have been 96-92 for Chris. I believe that part of the problem was that so many fans focused on what Chris looked like instead of what was actually going on in the fight. I also believe that although his record may resemble Paulie's that Chris actually had enough pop on his punches that, as they say, it kept Ruslan honest. So, I will say it again I thought it was an easy fight to score and just for the record I was rooting for Ruslan to win.

The articles list 7 fights that are perceived to be robberies, but only 3 of them were true robberies, Cave-Escandon, Herrera-Benavidez, and Glazkov-Rossy.

Haha so u think bey actually beat Vasquez?

[DoktorSleepless]

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.

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