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.

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.
When? ALOT of close decisions have gone aganst GBP fighters. Mayweather vs Oscar, Calzaghe vs Hopkins.

Barrera vs Marquez/Pacquiao II I thought could have been closer on the cards, as maybe Mosley vs Cotto.
.
Delahoya-Mayweather wasn't close Delahoya still got a card, how you can have Delahoya winning when getting outlanded 2-1 is beyond me.
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)
So you can give an example of ONE proper robbery then! Forbes vs D Hop.

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.
