    I had it 116 - 114 in Rubio's favour but it was a very close fight, Chavez Jr. has definitely impressed me in his last few fights but Rubio did the better work on the inside and landed the better shots imo, Chavez was smothering his own work and a lot of his shots were caught on Rubio's gloves.

    Donaire vs Vasquez Jr. was definitely the fight of the night for me, great battle, would love to see a rematch, Vasquez was coming on great from round 5 - round 9 and then that knockdown just seemed to inspire Donaire in those last few rounds.

    Can't agree, sorry. Chavez won most of the first ten and really put a stamp on the championship rounds by outslugging Rubio.

    Nope... I am JR's biggest criticizers but the best that can be argued is 8-4... 7-5 a chance to.

    8-4 is the best.

    Well, if it was a pitter patter on the gloves World Championship and Ali wasn't allowed to throw a single punch (because if he did, MAR would be KTFO into a coma...)

    Good lord. No matter how clearly a guy wins a fight someone always gives it to the other guy.

    That's how I saw it. Chavez was frequently busier and landing the harder punches. He did well to control the pace and space.

    NO. Rubio had no pop at all in his punches.
