What was the worst robbery of 2016?

[LoadedWraps]

In Essence that is a robbery, the vast majority of people scored it for the man who lost, therefore by definition it's a robbery.

Of course there are worse robberies than other's...

No it doesn't, it just makes it an unpopular decision. It's only a robbery if there is no inconceivable way you can score if for the fighter that got the decision using all spectrums of the scoring criteria possible. Besides, a vast majority of that vast majority who scored it for Kovalev don't know how to score a fight in the first place just like with any other fight, so the numbers are meaningless.

Kov-Ward of course.

The fact the judges all had exactly the same scorecard and gave ward every single round from the halfway point, show's that to me. There was only one way ward could win...and that was to give him every single round from a point.

Kovalev clearly won round 10. for example. The judges, all 3 of them gave that round to ward, that speaks volumes to me, it show's that

A) not only were they giving every single close(ish) round to ward.
but B) they were giving clear kovalev rounds to Ward.

So by your own definition of what you think a robbery is, it seemingly qualifies.

People like to say ' a close fight isnt a robbery '

That can be true and it can also be untrue IMO.

Radivoje Kalajdzic V Marcus Browne was the worst by FAR.

no.2 is Perez v hooker. hooker lost every single round and still got a draw

3. Kovalev v Ward.

4. Mcdonnel v Solis

Chudinov won but it was close

ward fans don't think that was a robbery. what about browne's body work?

[Larry the boss]

Povetkin was hands down the worst of the year..he robbed the boxing world of not one BUT 2 damn fights due to his cheating ways

[Sadiqkingofko]

Perez vs Hooker

[Madison Boxing]

theres probably worse robberies in terms of terrible judging, but robbery of the year surely has to be kovalev v ward, due to the prominence of the fight.

Hooker vs. Perez

Take Ward vs. Kovalev off, not a robbery

they been saying robbery and 70% of the media said Kov won the last few weeks...its pretty pathetic and funny AF....they dont know the meaning of the word robbery...they are just butthurt they didnt see ward get knocked the **** out...

yeah i dont know why ward fanboys keep pretending that the judges were legit. they were clearly favoring ward. they clearly knew what their cards were and refused to give kovalev a single round even though he clearly won 10 because they knew he would win. there was just no way kov was reaching 7 rounds won in that fight.

[therealpugilist]

Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward

Jamie McDonell vs Liborio Solis

Maurice Hooker vs Darleys Perez

Felix Sturm vs Fedor Chudinov

do you even know what a robbery is?

robbery doesnt mean the guy you wanted to see lose, won the fight.....bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha

what was you scorecard and what rounds did you give too Kovalev...this is gonna be good
