    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 saw a robbery, i appreciate a lot of others didnt but thats what i saw and i think the punch stats had pacquaio landing twice as many shots on horn. horn had a connect percentage of 15 percent lol. i know people say compubox isnt accurate but thats basically what i saw, his punches were hitting the gloves.

      None of the fights were robberies. That's a word that gets used way too loosely nowadays

        I agree but all the fighters mentioned all used the word to describe it, I just rolled with it. That's how they saw it.

          Fair enough, I can understand that.

            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.

            How did you score Floyd vs Maidana 1 ?

              I think Ward has more haters out there than Pacquiao is the only reason the Kovalev/Ward fight is in the lead. Those are the only two fights out of the four you could possibly consider a "robbery"

                Thought Kov clearly won 7-5 in a pretty simple fight to score.
                Lara was 7-5 Or so either way or 6-6 with a KD
                Floyd clearly won the Maidana fight
                I thought Pac won the Horn fight

                I'd say Kov got the worse decision only because I think the rounds were pretty easy to score in that fight.

                  kovalev won easily. ward didn't win a single round clearly in that fight. you could give him 3,4,5 razor close rounds but he was beaten handily. in the other fights horn, lara, maidana all won a number of rounds clearly.

                    Pac is the only one where I saw an actual robbery.
                    Maidana was not as close as people want to remember.
                    Ward edged it but I can understand people thinking Kovalev had it too. Unfortunately, the people who argue that fight are usually morons who think Kovalev won 9 rounds.

                      I See it differently. Manny won clearly 8 rounds in the Horn fight. Kov at best won 4 rounds against Ward and imo he won more rounds in the second fight before Ward bodybagged him.
