“They robbed him!” Eddie Hearn exploded after judges handed Terence Crawford a shocking decision win. Fans are furious, analysts stunned — was this one of boxing’s worst robberies ever? The truth behind the controversy will leave you speechless.

Boxing has never been short in the drama, but the last storm did not explode inside the strings, but after the most recent fight of Terence Crawford. When the judges declared Crawford the winner by decision, the reactions were not divided alone, they were explosive. Leading the position was the famous promoter Eddie Hearn, who delivered a scathing attack against the score, calling him “a robbery” and “a misfortune for sport.”

A decision that surprised fans

The fight itself was closely disputed. Crawford was expected, known for his elegant counterprojor and ring intelligence, dominated. Instead, his opponent pressed the action, landed heavy combinations and seemed to overcome it in several critical rounds. Many observers and fans online believed that Crawford had been pushed to the limit, and possibly beaten.

But when the scoring cards were read, Crawford’s hand lifted. The sand built with confusion. Social networks exploded with indignation. And Eddie Hearn did not waste time expressing what many were already thinking.

Hearn’s furious response

“They stole it!” Hearn declared in an interview immediately after the fight. His words were acute, his burning tone. “How can you give those rounds to Crawford? His opponent was the one who landed the cleanest shots, the one who presses the fight. This is exactly the reason why fans are losing faith in boxing, decisions like this.”

Hearn went further, accusing the judges of being influenced by Crawford’s reputation as one of the kings of Libra by sport. “You can’t win rounds just because your name is Terence Crawford. Boxing doesn’t work that way, or at least it shouldn’t.”

A family problem in boxing

This was not the first time questionable to judge the robbery holders. From Gennady Golovkin’s first fight with Canelo Álvarez to the infamous loss of Manny Pacquiao against Timothy Bradley, sport has a history of controversies that emit shadows on exciting competitions. Every time, the uproar restarts the same debate: is boxing enough to guarantee a fair trial?

Hearn’s outburst took advantage of that frustration. “We work very hard to make these great fights, to give fans what they deserve,” he said. “And then everything is undermined by punctuation paintings that make no sense. Tonight, the wrong man received the victory, and everyone knows.”

The consequences

In the days that followed, the conversation has been relentless. Fans have dissected the fight around the round, publishing slow chamber clips and punch statistics to support their claims. Some insist that Crawford made enough with his precision and defense shots. Others argue that the challenger’s aggression should have influenced the judges.

Regardless of which secondary fans they take, one thing is undeniable: the controversy is sold. The reaction has only intensified the Crawford Care Center, while feeding the demands of a rematch that could generate even more interest than original combat.

The verdict

Whether you agree with Eddie Hearn or not, his words captured the emotions of millions of fans who left the fight feeling restless. Was it theft? Was the subjectivity of boxing simply? It may never be unanimous, but one thing is safe: this decision will be discussed in the coming years.

In boxing, each blow tells a story. This time, it was not the blows, but the punctuation paintings that wrote the final chapter, one that left the divided world, and Eddie Hearn shouted the words that many thought:

“They stole it!”
