    I always thought the first Fury V Wilder fight, that everyone was super biased towards Fury.

    I had Zarate edging Pintor but no robbery.
    Holmes beat Spinks easily in the second bout.
    Leonard edged Hagler. Marvin gave away the first 4 rounds. He chased Ray instead of cutting the ring off and didn't let his hands go .
    G outpointed Canelo in the first 2 fights.
    Castillo edged Mayweather fist fight
    Bowe beat Holy 2nd fight
    Hagler beat Duran comfortably
    Holmes beat Norton comfortably

    I’ll give one of my own controversial opinions now. I thought Carlos Cuadras beat Roman Gonzalez by a comfortable margin. A lot of people watching the fight, including Max and Roy, were seeing the toll that Chocolatito’s pressure was having on Cuadras conditioning. And he was definitely landing hard shots and was very active. But the body language of the boxers early in the bout was not portraying what was actually happening. Just because you’re getting more tired does not mean that you’re necessarily losing the round. And as the fight continued, Cuadras got a second and third wind while Gonzalez was getting increasingly beat down.

    Yeah, Cuadras took a lot of damage, but I thought he came out better than Roman. Cuadras was repeatedly blasting with him quick combinations in close and landed heavy strikes that weren’t being acknowledged. At times, he just outworked him, too. I thought he won more rounds and did more damage over the course of the bout.

    I had Daniel Jacobs winning his fight against Canelo on my scorecard. It was ridiculously tight, something like 114-115, but still very against the grain apparently.

    Golota vs Ruiz for me. Although Ruiz rallied in the second half of the fight, I felt that the two knockdowns that Golota scored plus the point deduction against Ruiz should have gotten Golota the decision.

    I thought the opinion where Duran got beat comfortably by Marvin was also widely accepted,perhaps as equal as the people's words that it's close?

    I'm in the same boat, although I had it 114-114.

    I had Trinidad beating Delahoya 6-5-1 in rounds. I could see it swinging to Oscar by a round or perhaps a draw. I didn't see a domination by DelaHoya in the first 8 rounds. I had him ahead but not close to what Jim Lampley was selling.

    He did win a couple rounds bigger than Tito won his. Disappointing fight overall.

    I had Chocolatito beating Estrada all three times.
    I had Madrimov edging out Crawford.
    I thought Monzon quite comfortably beat Griffith in their 2nd fight.
    I thought May-Pac was a very close fight and could easily go either way.
    I had Pitbull beating Tank Davis.
    Hagler-Antuofermo was a legit draw.

    Ike definitely started better (the first four rounds) but I don't think he won that much afterwards.

    I was under the impression most had Duran ahead after 12

    I wouldn't say that's the case. A lot of people here think Beterbiev won fair and square and majority just says it was a close fight that could have gone either way.
