Do people know what a "Robbery" is?

[BendOver]

No, they do not know, gonzalez-coggi was a robbery, zarate-pintor, Lara-williams, Abril-rios, just off the top of my head, granados-broner wasn't a robbery although I think granados won...

A robbery is one of 2 things

1 my favorite fighter loses a close fight

2 a fighter I hate wins a close fight

^^^this or bradley vs pac 1

[daggum]

yes. every single fight

[DinoCop]

A robbery is everytime Canelo fights.
vs Mayweather a draw, vs Cotto-Lara 119-117 scores, vs Khan some judges scored him winning wide.

This saying has loss all it's meaning and credibility,one of the most overused word on this site and in this sport..

Lara/Williams was a blatant robbery. Ward/Kovalev was were the wrong man won. Broner/Granados was a close fight that could have gone either way.

Good definition, bad example. Lara/Canelo wasn't a robbery. I actually figured Lara would win, and had him losing close. Close fight. A robbery would be more like... Maybe Oscar/Tito, but Oscar giving away rounds makes that weird.

Totally agree with both of you, didn't consider Canelo/Lara a robbery at all. Williams/Lara that was disgraceful to the sport of boxing. Kovalev I thought won a close fight and didn't deserve to lose his belts, Tito/Oscar meh and Broner v Granados was also close but not a robbery. That word gets thrown around here too easily.

A lot of boxing fans can only understand extreme opinions. Someone is the best boxer ever, #1 P4P or a bum who should retire. The top ten is like 3 guys to these cats. Its sorta hilarious. So yea to them every decision they disagree with is a robbery. No grey area at all for them.

Why is it like that? I think maybe boxing tends to attract a lot of simple minded people who can only see extreme opinions cuz these black or white opinions always seem overly discussed to the point that even some of the reasonable boxing fans create threads off of the nutty boxing fans nutty stances.

Robbery is Lara Williams. Where punch stats themselves cant supersede official scoring, where the irony is failed reliance from professional judging. For example, had Rigo lost to Donaire, some could say "well Rigo didn't put enough pressure...." regardless of compubox or a dude's face...

[IronDanHamza]

On NSB literally every single close fight is a robbery.

This has been boxing fans forever. We love to call every fight robberies.
