You've always got beware the silent creep of under-dogitis when scoring a fight.
It can skew your vision a bout.
Its happened to me before.

So you can give an example of ONE proper robbery then!

Stoppage was fair, but I'm really sick and tired of GBP fighters getting gift decisions. Tony Crebs should be made to watch Skelton v Sprott 2 as punishment.
Barrera vs Marquez/Pacquiao II I thought could have been closer on the cards, as maybe Mosley vs Cotto.

I don't think they want to ruin the name of boxing by giving a blatant robbery in a huge fight, but they definately have some corrupt judges:
Forbes-D-Hopkins was a bad robbery
Marquez-Barrera - paid off judges for the Golden boy fighter with the future, whether you had Marquez winning or not is irrelevant it was a close fight and the cards were wrongly WIDE to Marquez
Many people thought Cassamayor got a gift under Golden Boy (I personally didnt but am a fan)
DLH vs Mayweather practically EVERYONE saw that as close - you are very much in the minority there.
Marquez vs Barrera - a fight between TWO GBP... the one who lost was a Buisness associate again a fight with subjective scoring.
