    I just looked at more scorecard for Weston-Benitez I, and I must admit I had the first fight a draw, so the decision there was about right, but I think it is more arguable Benitez won than Weston did, given that I scored a couple of close rounds Weston's way more for endeavour than anything else. I think Benitez would have been unlucky to drop that decision though.

    Benitez was comfortably ahead but then started to jerk around a little and allowed Weston back into the fight. Benitez lost the last 3 rounds on my card there.

    I thought he did better in the rematch though and distinguished himself, despite Richard Steele's incompetent/bought off card.

    Fleaman and I have both apologised to each other because we realised we allowed things to descend where they should not have gone hence getting back to proper debating.

    Yes 1 of the other judges had it a draw the other gave it to Fenech which just goes to show that judging a fight can be subjective. I am not from Accra by the way. I am just calling the fight the way I saw it and amke no apologies for that.

    Listen to a bit more of that "Controlling Yoga thru Ejaculations". You'll feel happier.

    If you take into account the work that Armstrong did after he lost the title (he beat a lot of quality guys even though he was more or less shot), that, along with his ridiculous title reign, makes him a legit choice for number 2.
