    DLH- Mosley II for example. Apparently a lot of folks ringside thought that Mosley's bodywork earned him the win.

    After watching Calzaghe-Hopkins I'm curious why the AP and ESPN had Hopkins winning by a point. Seemed to me that Calzaghe won clearly by at least two or three.

    I've sat rinside few quite a few televised fights, and they almost always look different on tv then live and in person. Up close you catch a lot more stuff and can hear the impact of punches. It effects how you score the fight a great deal.

    The crowds reaction is RJJ-Tarver 1 was uneccesersay, Roy edged the decision by one, as did Chad Dawson over Glen Johnson.

    Mosley-De La Hoya 2 is a great example.

    There was a poll for the viewers on TV and the majority of the voters said DLH won. The majority of the ringside media felt Mosley won.

    Mayweather/Castillo I. All 3 judges as well as many ringside observers had Mayweather winning by relatively wide margins.
