    Five flush power punches to two wild hooks...and you score for the fighter who lands two wild hooks. Explain this, please.

    I don't know that I like that method of scoring. I definitely think it's a close exchange because Forrest is rattled, but I can't give a guy points for chin, it's not a scoring criteria. You don't get points for eating shots and smiling.

    for me, mayorga comes off on top and that's why i think he wins the exchange.

    If you don't score that point for Oscar (which I believe is the just thing to do) I don't know how Oscar could come out on top. If you give him that 10-8 round... I suppose you could score it a draw or maybe just maybe a Oscar win. I just don't think it's right to do so, and even with that point I have Whitaker winning or a draw at worst.

    A fighter who lands 5 flush power punches in a row, then the other fighter responds with 2 wild hooks right after them. You cannot score for the fighter who lands the 2......

    The youtube clip you showed....it was all untidy work by both.

    I can't see Forest landing 5 flush power shots in that clip.

    I apologise for not having a perfect memory. I had hoped me posting the clip would show exactly what happened.

    I think it's perfectly apparent who the ring general was in that exchange.
