    The knockdown saved the fight for Oscar on my card. I don't think it was a robbery, but I'd have to admit it both ways, even if Quartey won

    Close fight, if boxing worked properly the top guys should fight each other multiple times.

    You could have almost gave Oscar the first 5 rounds straight. What I noticed was, Oscar was just keeping a half step out of range of ike's jab and that was essentially all Ike was throwing with a few far and between good shots he did land, but Oscar would get him to reach in just a bit and counter ike.
    Now I didn't give Oscar the first 5 rounds, and going into the 12th I had Oscar down by 1 point, but he did what champions do, and Ike failed to produce when it really counted. He was very game that fight, and I believe Oscar was off his game a bit, but regardless dug down and pulled it out. To this day, I can't fathom how anyone can call that fight a robbery. Oscar outlanded ike in power shots, ike outlanded oscar in overall shots, but Oscar put ike down 1 more time and had the only 10-8 round of the fight. Close but not hard to call IMO.
