    Park Si-Hun beating Roy Jones Jr.

    Not really a close fight, but technically according to the score, it was. 3-2.

    Jones should have won.

    Second fight was close. I had it by a round to Canelo. One of the best fights I have watched.

    I felt Porter edged it against Thurman by 1 or 2 points - but it was very close & the outcome was fair.

    Except Abril vs Rios was NOT close at all. Abril arguably did a enough to pitch a shut out in an uneventful fight.

    The only fight I remember getting angry over about a corrupt decision was Paulie Ayala getting the gift against Johnny Tapia. So of course they had a rematch and they screwed Tapia again. Gets my blood simmering even talking about it even now.

    I thought Eddie Davis outhustled and outsmarted Michael Spinks too.

    To be honest, I didn't think Williams-Lara or Napoles-Muniz I were close either, so I got ahead of myself a few times. Abril did in fact dominate Rios. It's too bad Abril's career didn't progress much afterwards, probably because of his difficult style.
