I told you before the fight that this was gonna be a closer fight than most people thought. I had Broner wining comfortably 6-4. Granados shots weren't landing clean or effective. He kept up the pressure but it wasn't effective aggression.
It was pretty effective for most of the fight, because Broner never really stopped him from fighting the way he wanted.
If the other guy can't stop your style, it's at least somewhat effective.
Whitaker got robbed multiple times, even pac got robbed, but the modern day example is kovalev ward cause there is no way you get assualted and outlanded the whole fight and still win.
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.
A robbery is a case when out of fighters A and B, Fighter B gets the nod even though if we score responsibly and consider the facts, there is no concievable way we can give the fight to anyone other than fighter A.
A great example of a flat out cold, disgraceful robbery is Lara/Canelo.
Lectures us about the proper definition of a robbery, and proceeds to give the worst example imaginable.
