You can really blame Ross for losing that fight. He destroyed Hernandez in the 5th, then for the most part was really inactive for the rest of the fight besides a few spots here and there. You can give props to Hernadez for boxing his way out of trouble, but to me he just did enough in most of the remaining rounds to win on points by activity, which again you gotta blame Ross for not doing more.

hernandez was hurt multiple times, and dropped. he dipped his head and ducked/turned away from ross when he was hurt, in a motion that many, including myself, would have probably considered enough to stop the fight.
he essentially turned his back to avoid punishment at one point, and he was getting away with it to lesser degrees throughout the middle stages of the fight.
after ross gassed hernandez came back. it was a very good and very close fight.

I would however not call this a robbery.

Man, I need to see this fight. Hernandez always seems to be involved in some exciting/controversial fights. lol
