Exactly. I was hoping Sterling would win so the annoying Yan fans would shut up. And i say that as someone that doesn't really care about either fighters.

I think saying “close decisions can go either way” is a bit of an injustice to Sterling. Majority of people gave him the first round, a lot of people gave him at least one 10-8 round in 2 and 3 and Yan didn’t get the finish. It wasn’t complete dominance for 5 rounds but it was a deserving win, not every close fight is a robbery

[@Robert399]

I'd say by definition a close fight isn't a robbery. It's only a robbery if there's no reasonable way you could justify the decision.
