    How do you know if you didn't watch the last 4 rounds? :nut

    The shot Oscar landed in the closing seconds is not enough to give him the round in my opinion.

    Oscar didn't only land one shot in that round though.

    Do you think a 10-10 for that round is valid or bogus, irrespective of your own scoring?

    Round 12 is one of the most puzzling rounds in terms of how people score it. I see it as a clear Mayweather round no question...Oscar doesn't even land anything until Mayweather knows he already has the fight won and starts to exchange freely at the end.

    :huh Oscar lands two combinations of bodyshots during the first two minutes of the round. He backs Floyd up twice and unloads. Even if none of his headshots land cleanly, he lands good clean bodyshots, and he is the one forcing Floyd back to the ropes, he is forcing the fight and being aggressive and active.

    In the closing stages of the round, he lands the better punches.

    I reiterate: I do not understand why anyone thinks this is not a close round. I can see why someone would score it for Floyd, but I can also see why someone would score it a 10-10, or even to Oscar.

    FYI, I watched the three rounds again last night.

    Although I still think they are mighty close, I'd give round 6 to Oscar, round 9 to Floyd, and I'm still on the fence about the last one. Good arguments can be made either way about it.
