10-9 for JML. Main reason I did not score it 10-8 for JML is that Salido was winning that round right up until the knockdown. And on a side note, that wasn't a flash knockdown. Salido was seriously hurt by that punch. Scarey moment for Salido.
That was a serious KD, but even with that Salido won 2:35 of that round, I have to give it a 10-9, if the round had been even or being dominated by Lopez, then I would score it 10-8, but that wasn't the case. The 1st round was even. 7 Salido 1 Lopez 1 Even
Although the first round did not foreshadow of what was to come, I gave it to Salido. 1. He was the champ. 2. He was the one coming forward. 3. He landed the better punches, which weren't many since it was mostly a feel out kind of round for both fighters.
It's got to be 10-8 IMO, Salido may have been "winning" but he wasn't winning by a significant enough margin for me to score it 10-9, but that's just me.
A lot of times, guys clearly win a round, and only get a 10-9 score. To put someone down after possibly losing the round deserves a 10-8 round even if he is possibly losing the round.
