    Haney beat Loma in my book. And I rooted for Loma.

    I rewatched it just a few days ago I had Fury winning 114-112 but there were so many close rounds Wilder did a lot better than people gave credit for.

    I agree. It was a very competitive fight.

    I don’t remember exactly what rounds I scored, but I know I had Norton winning by 2.
    Holmes dominated I think the first 4 I think, then I felt Norton won several rounds in a row and Holmes stole some of the championship rounds.
    That’s just the general trend of how I remember it going, the only thing I know for certain is that I gave it to Norton by 2 rounds.

    Jeff Horn vs Manny Pacquiao = it's labelled as a robbery but I thought Horn made it his type of fight roughed up Pacquiao and won legitimately.

    I recently scored Tank Davis vs Issac Cruz and I had it a draw a very close fight.

    I also thought Pintor edged it.

    I have a very controversial out of the box opinion.

    I thought George Chuvalo should have gotten the decision over Ernie Terrell.

    Terrell was a jab and grabber. He would pump a few jabs at Chuvalo and then clinch. Chuvalo had a high guard. Most of those jabs were blocked by Chuvalo's gloves. Chuvalo would then score to the body.

    I thought Chuvalo's body work actually should have won the decision.

    I am not big on jab and clinch types.

    Floyd Mayweather beat DLH & Maidana clearly. I had DLH winning 4 rounds & Maidana winning only 2 in the 1st fight. Haters of Floyd are unhinged with their bias against him & can't score his fights objectively (& I'm not a big Mayweather fan).
