The champion should have gotten the benefit of doubt

Yes, but perhaps more close fights should be declared draws.
Certainly when a title is at stake.

Judges are not perfect, and make errors. Even good judges. Therefore the verdict should be a draw unless the margin of victory is clear and somewhat substantial.

I mean, seriously, when almost everyone is saying "I don't know, it was close, this fight could go either way." the fairest result would be a draw.
I've been saying this for years.
I suspect boxing now thrives on the controversy, the debates and the suspense surrounding decisions though.

I feel you, but at the same time I feel like winning by an inch should still be rewarded. Too many draws would dampen the sport as well IMO.
