    I can't see how this fight can be called a robbery and I can't see how Posters say Spence v Porter was a robbery.
    Both were very close fights that could have gone either way in both of them.
    I thought Spence wone against Porter and believe the kd was the difference in the GGG v SD fight.
    People on NSB need to be more aware when they call a robbery cause a robbery to me is when a fighter has won the majority of rounds clear on most peoples cards yet don't get a decision.

      SD had many more moments than GGG.
      SD even did well in the knock down rd.

      SD should have won this fight.

        That is just your opinion because the fact is the judges saw it different and gave G the win.

              It's how they do

              It's never a robbery when their guy is on the ''winning'' end

                The first was a robbery imo.
                The second could have gone either way.

                    It wasn't a robbery, Larry. You're right. You also need to stop changing your name every single day. Haha. I can't keep up anymore.

                      In all those Golovkin fights that are controversial - Jacobs, Canelo I&II, Derevyanchenko - I have no problem with result. Imo it was good judging - and You rarely get terrible decision in big fights quite frankly. Commisions and governing bodies do good job assigning experienced and reliable officials.

                      You'll get odd one here and there definitely, but it's much bigger problem on lower levels in fights that not many people see. That's where real corruption is going on.
                      Absolutely, Mastrangelo. The real corruption happens on the small level. Try to find a big high-profile fight that's obviously fixed or involves a true dive. You can't. The promoters won't allow that because of the high standard and number of eyes on the fight. However, these guys who get up there with 15-0 or 20-0 records. Uh-huh. Many times, they got a true gift somewhere along the way, but you won't hear about that. I agree with you on those decisions too and let's face it. Any top fighter has had those close fights that could have easily gone the other way in scoring. It sucks when you're on the wrong end but it happens and really, it's no big deal. The loser made a great case but they didn't get the KO. If they're so much better, they would have. End of story.
