Professional career

Other notable bouts include his second bout with Gatti, (which he also won), and his 12 round whirlwind bout with then lightweight champion Phillip Holiday. Robinson fought on May 28, 2005, when he lost a 10-round unanimous decision to Julio César Chávez at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
He won the USBA and NABF lightweight titles over his career. Fans consider Robinson as a great sportsman, evidently when he bowed when he fought Mexican legend Julio Cesar Chavez and after his wars with Arturo Gatti.
