I scored the 5 round a 10-8 round for Rosario. Camacho was out on his feet. Side Note: I think Rosario made this fight closer than should've been. Camacho was on rubbery legs from rounds 5 through 8. I believe Rosario could have stopped Camacho had he pressed on the gas a little more and cut off the ring instead of just looking for that one nuclear bomb. He could have very well stopped him because he on ***** street for a while.

Round 1: 10-9 Camacho Round 2: 10-9 Camacho Round 3: 10-9 Rosario Round 4: 10-9 Rosario Round 5: 10-9 Rosario (I was very tempted to make this 10-8, but held back due to Camacho's early and late surge, but won't disagree with anyone else if they think its 10-8) Round 6: 10-9 Camacho Round 7: 10-9 Camacho Round 8: 10-9 Rosario Round 9: 10-9 Camacho Round 10: 10-9 Camacho Round 11: 10-9 Rosario Round 12: 10-9 Rosario Total 114-114 Draw
I scored this one pretty recently. Hector Camacho v Edwin Rosario Good battle where Camacho won the battle but Rosario won the war. The big moments were in rounds 5 and 11 where Rosario’s left hook had Camacho in serious trouble. He managed to survive both times and he won the fight between rounds 6 and 10 where Rosario didn’t seem to be able to land that damaging hook. Camacho showed a lot of heart here even if this was a watershed moment in his career where he decided he didn’t want to show that heart again (he would do, though, against Julio Cesar Chavez six years later). 1 10-9 2 10-9 3 9-10 (close. First success for Rosario) 4 9-10 (Rosario starting to time the right hand lead. Good work) 5 9-10 (big Rosario round as he hurts Camacho badly, who does very well to survive) 6 10-9 7 10-9 (close) 8 10-9 (Camacho has done very well since the 5th) 9 10-9 (Camacho seems in control) 10 10-9 (Rosario just not getting to Camacho often enough) 11 9-10 (Rosario lands the big left hook again and has Camacho hurt. Less time on the clock this time and Camacho survives again) 12 9-10 Camacho 115-113 Rosario

For me only the 8th round was debatable, Rosario had a few decent moments in that round. When he got Camacho on the ropes and hit him with some nice body shots. But for me Camacho just out landed him in that round, and mostly kept out of harms way apart from them few moments. I could see an argument for Rosario, possibly edging that round though or it possibly being even. But outside of that 8th round i think it's pretty clear cut fight to score, Rosario had the best moments in the fight in rounds 5, 11, 12, and clearly won rounds 3 and 4. But outside of that i think it would be slightly reaching to find a Rosario victory, i guess an argument could be made Rosario had a 10-8 round in the 5th. But i don't think the round was dominant enough to warrant that, and Camacho started the round well aswell. I agree with @Jel scorecard and thoughts, Camacho won the fight but lost the war. He was fading badly in the last 2 rounds and Rosario had the best moments in the fight, but Camacho in my view was still a deserved winner in a close fight. Unless you give Rosario the 8th round and scored the 5th round 10-8.
I thought it could have gone either way. I am sure i have scored it but damned if i remember exactly how.
