    I gave Morales rds 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 & 10.
    I gave Barrera rds 1, 2, 8, 11 & 12.

    Most of those rds could be scored even or either way which is why I have no problem with those that score for MAB... I only have a problem with wide scores for either man.

    :good

    Malignaggi vs Herman Ngoudjo was a joke, god knows how paulie was awarded that decision. Remember the commentators been in complete disbelief about the scoring.

    Cotto-Clottey is another good shout. Also, Abner Mares-Yohnny Perez

    Campillo-Shumenov II was a robbery.

    I believe Marquez won the second fight with Pac, never seen the first but will have a look at both soon.

    Martinez vs. Williams is a good shout and soo difficult to score. Everytime i watch McCallum vs. Toney 1, i come away with a different winner, brillient technical fight!

    Controversial? i'd go for Ike Quartey vs De La Hoya. I thought Ike won that fight by a couple of rounds.

    Bones Adams vs. Paulie Ayala is another controversial one i'd suggest. Clarence clearly won that IMO.

    I thought Toney/McCallum 1 was the closest and the one Mike had more shout at winning, myself. The second two are close but clear JT wins IMO.

    Speaking of the Professor. I'll mention Nelson vs. Fenech 1, Jesse James Leija 1 and Leija vs. Juan Lazcano, which i thought was a total robbery.
