    Awesome fight,tremendous action throughout the full 10 rounds.

    Fight as close but I had Hairston ahead 6-4 in rounds.Just wonder if anyone would disagree with the decision.

    I thought he outboxed LaMotta more often than not,landed the cleaner,harder shots in the first half of the fight altough the harder shots were LaMotta's in the sedcond half.Awesome back and forth action though.

    That's odd because I thought LaMotta clearly won the fight although I didn't score the rounds which can sometimes be misleading.

    When you have time score it and comeback.

    I just thought Hairston had a hair on him.I think he landed and threw more but maybe not as powerful,LaMotta wasn't even moved any point n the fight,Hairston was a bit moved somewhere in the 8th or 9th.
    Seemed to me Hairston was also blocking many shots and did a lot better on the inside than I thought he would.LaMotta's bodywork did slow him down late though.
    Good fight.

    I watched this fight and didn't score it either. Funny cause I looked at it like a month ago too. When I watched it I thought Hairston won by a blade of grass.

    Same here.

    However, I thought Hairston might've won the first fight, as did others.
