Do fans use a boxer's "youth" as an excuse for his flaws?

[Check_hooks]

Yes.

Before "he young doe" became a meme, it was a serious excuse people were using for Broner

[Finito2K]

That "he's young, he a kid, the boy is growing" excuse is played out. At least in my book. A loss is a loss and a flaw or flaws remain unless corrected.

If the fighter makes corrections as he develops it validate the notion that he is no longer "green".
Question:

What if a loss isn't a result of a fighter's flaws? (i.e.
Lomachenko-Salido or Ward-Kovalev)
