    Posted a video above that has every worthwhile punch scored. Also think Floyd should have won but he allowed Ellis to make a case for himself through the middle rounds.

    Depends on what you do with 7 and 8 I guess.

    That's the problem. Floyd was landing the gooder punches, the prettier combos (and the knockdown), but Ellis just kept putting out the left all the time, the right two even if it was getting blocked/ ducked. He did enough to make either outcome valid.
