    I saw it live and have watched since. I rooted for Oscar and thought he fought well. But I scored it 8-4. Oscar gave away round 9 on after he tired. Oscar did not go to the body enough or jab enough. The fight to me proved prime Oscar would win but he did not win this time. I heard SD and I kind of laughed cause it was not close. I just thought it was vegas and with the build up were just doing the old legend a favor by making it look close on paper and make a dramatic ending to an obvious result.

    My verdict not close.

    Tied after 8 rounds. Then Oscar went to "I'll attack Floyd once per round" mode.

    I had it about there. A close competitive fight then Oscar gassed and gave away the end

    Well depends on how you call a 116-112 scorecard. Close or not?

    I agree with this like a shut out where every round is tough but you know who won the round. Like Katsidis Diaz

    Well 116-112 usually means interesting not necessarily close. Especially seeing Oscar had a very weak finish. It was an interesting bout but not as close as some have it
