a serious question... for those who think something is a ROBBERY

[kirk]

Ok....

this taylor fight has been called a robbery, want proof just look at this page of threads and theres even a thread of it

Other fights that are close... but also called robberies, there are hundreds of them you could use as an example (besides casa/cruz or forbes/hopkins, those were straight up legit fuckups)

So... when you see MANY... not just one or two, but MANY other BOXING FANS scoring the fight the other way, MANY others saying it was close, and would have been fair eather way...

do you just think they are stupid or what? I mean... to just say flat out

JERMAIN won this fight PERIOD. it was a robbery

you have to be pretty ignorant IMO, and kinda thick in the head...

So... what is it, you just think everyone else are paid off? dont know how to score a fight? are nuthuggers?

what?

I was rooting for jermain.... but when pavlik won that 12th i had to give it to him by one round... otherwise i would have had it a draw, the others i saw it with felt the same way.

Yet without fail i can always come on here and see SOMEBODY calling it a robbery... so i just want your opinions from those who think jermain won NO QUESTIONS ASKED,

Good luck gettin serious replies to that one. Good post.

I don't think it was a robebry at all. I just have a hard time accepting that fight will go down in the history books as a unanimous decision for Kelly, because from what i've seen, and i've watched it twice now, it was anything but. The way some people score fights give it to Kelly, others like me gave it very narrowly to Jermain. Man, I don't know. It was not a robbery though. In hindsight Taylor should have forced it more at times as the challenger.

i honestly cant see how anybody could have had anything but a pavlik win.It was close but not that close

To me this fight was pretty much the same as Cotto-Mosley, whoever you were cheering on you will obviously give the nod too in the fight, in both of these cases I was rooting for the eventual victor and I couldn't really see the point of those who said otherwise.

Pavlik deserved the verdict as did Cotto, the neutral judges agree, those who call these fights robberies either lost money on them or their fighter lost.

Well, this really seems to be a pivitol point for a lot of people. I think the guy coming forward deserves credit for that. Otherwise you don't have much of a fight and people don't pay money to see that. That is one reason people see Kelly as good for the sport. I actually can't find any thing OFFICIAL on the web that says how a round should be scored. WBC says a 10 point must system, but noting on the site I can find tells a judge how to award the points. Lots of 'fan sites' but nothing official that I could find.

I had it 115-113 Taylor, doing the cleaner more incisive work

No robbery involved though, could have gone either way. The judges scores were garbage

Who cares he lost its over and he has even now said he lost,that for me is the finish of it,he could have kicked up a fuss but has not,he has class,if you keep banging on about it,your gonna look a bit silly if the guy your sticking up for says he lost,something he did not have to do
