I cannot fathom how a professional judge has managed to score that as a draw. Ridiculous decision

 

I agree that at least six of the rounds were clearly in Bazinyan's favor. Even if every close-ish round went to Fox it would still be a Bazinyan win.

 

I saw this pop up yesterday on Tim Boxeo's schedule (which is mapped to my Google phone calendar) and thought about tuning in and/or doing a RBR, but then after thinking about it for a second reached the same conclusion as your latter one there for the main event. As for the co-feature, I'd only ever seen GGV once before, on the Bivol vs. Canelo undercard, and found him pretty underwhelming (he probably did not deserve to lose to Love, but it probably should have correctly been a draw and neither man distinguished themselves as superior to another - nor as somebody to go to great lengths to watch in the future).

So, a Thursday evening of porn and reading about the agrarian terrain aiding tactical maneuvers in Spartacus' revolt sounded the better option - and I have no regrets.
