    In These Fights, Which Fighter Had A Stronger Case For Being Robbed?

    Trying to see what NSB thinks on this. Having a debate at the moment. Which of these fighters has a stronger argument that they were indeed "robbed". All of them felt they won.

    The fighters are:

    Erislandy Lara (vs Hurd)
    Sergey Kovalev (vs Ward, 1st meeting)
    Marcos Maidana (vs Mayweather, 1st meeting)
    Manny Pacquiao (vs Horn)
    73
    Lara (vs Hurd)
    2.74%
    2
    Kovalev (vs Ward)
    46.58%
    34
    Maidana (vs Mayweather)
    8.22%
    6
    Pacquiao (Horn)
    42.47%

      pacquiao v horn.i have no idea how the hell anyone scored that for horn, was clear as day that pacquiao was landing the cleaner better shots and i put that right up there with one of the worst robberies ive ever seen. ward v kovalev was a shocker too but not as bad. the other two went the right way in my eyes.

        i can barely remember the chino maywather fight. but for me kovalev clearly won, whereas i thought pac and hurd won it was less clear and could be debated either way.

          How can something even be remotely considered a robbery when 6 of 8 international judges had Horn winning a close but clear decision?

          You've got to be kidding me.

          6 of 8 international judges had Horn winning a close but clear battle against a Manny that didn't show up, didn't take the guy serious and got bullied and tossed around for 7 rounds.

          Meanwhile, there's NOBODY that had Ward winning the first fight, Not after getting dropped on his ass and outboxed half the fight.

            I had Hurd winning a close competitive fight. It seems difficult to give Lara enough rounds to actually win the fight, especially considering the knockdown. So not Lara.

            Maidana didn't beat Floyd. He won a handful of early rounds, but Floyd dominated the second half of the fight.

            Most people will say either Manny or Kovalev. I can't remember how I scored the Pacquiao/Horn fight, but I remember thinking it was close before the cards were read. I think I had Manny just winning it, maybe by a round, but it wasn't a super clear wide victory like people claim. Horn roughed Manny up in that fight and stole rounds through activity.

            Kovalev/Ward was also very close and I seem to remember scoring it for Kovalev, maybe by a couple of rounds. He definitely lost rounds in the second half of that fight though. But yeah, I'd vote for Kovalev/Ward just ahead of Manny/Horn because it was the more significant fight (P4P status on the line)

              Strongest case will be Kovalev and Maidana imo.

              But were close but clear, the others were more clear imo, however I think in all these fights listed the right person won.

                Manny was the worst robbery by a mile.

                  Erislandy Lara (vs Hurd) -------Lara lost close match
                  Sergey Kovalev (vs Ward, 1st meeting)----Koval lost
                  Marcos Maidana (vs Mayweather, 1st meeting)------Marcos won
                  Manny Pacquiao (vs Horn)---Pac lost


                  My Marcos win was cutting hairs but Mayweather really performed poorly and was scared to engage. Senior was begging him to step it up and he never did.
                  Reminded me of Leon out hustling an unprepared Ali.
