    Victor Galindez v Eddie Gregory was a tricky one I scored relatively recently. I think I had more even rounds in that one than in any 15 rounder I've scored.

    Toney-Tiberi. I was so sure Tiberi had it, and then the judges told me I was wrong. Oh well.

    Both Jermaine Taylor and Bernard Hopkins fights where hard to score, and harder to sit thru.

    Minter vs Antuofermo I stands out in my mind, but there are a good many tough fights to score if we are honest.

    So many dynamics to scoring a fight. Do you favor the guy who out lands 20-14 or the guy who lands 14 also lands the cleaner punches. Do you reward body work on a similar level to the more visual pleasing head shots. Do you score for the guy who mildly controlled the first 2:30 over the guy who clearly controls the last 30 seconds...so many dynamics...2 guys land about the same one uses his jab but not much power the other goes to the inside and is very effective but also got picked apart at range...tougher to score fights than most like to admit.

    Fights that feature a skilled fighter that only works just hard enough to cast a doubt. Like Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, Reggie Johnson, those types.

    Some great mentions already. I'd add Freddie Norwood vs. Juan Manuel Marquez and maybe Harry Simon vs. Winky Wright.
