    I'm not sure, only watched it live never watched it again, i thought at the time oscar did all the work untill rnd 8 ish as you guys say, maybe it was just because i wanted him 2 win so much that i fooled my self into believing, i will have to watch again, however i now love floyd he says it how it is, thw way he talks about mosley on 24/7 episode 1, i love that ****

    Good amount of votes for Oscar but nobody has put explanations

    The split decision was a joke.

    Same conclusion. Whenever they're going against him logic is too harsh to face. Maybe they pray before bed every night for him to lose?

    I saw it was them paying homage to a legend in a fight he lost or just adding on to the hype and build up with a dramatic ending to an obvious result

    I initially scored it a draw.

    Watching it later, more objectively, I scored it for Floyd. 8-4 if memory serves correctly.

    well its also safe to believe many people got relled in to the hype and build up and were so in favor of Oscar they thought he won. He proved very tough and proved a lot but he did not win. Also many never watched it again so the opinion they had then is the one they ahve now

    It's because you didn't make the poll public.

    Think i was in the same boat. Watching it was rooting for oscar so scored it closer than it actually was. Flloyd clear winner

    I had it 8-4, I think.

    It was close in the sense that it wasn't completely one-sided, but not close in the Williams-Martinez sense; certainly not as close as the judges scores would have you believe.

    Most are probably trolls.

    In fact, may have more if the poll was public!

    I forgot too. Just wish one of them would explain cause the comments are all generally in agreement

    8 rounds 2 4 mayweather. Cuda gav it 9 rounds 2 3 but 8-4 is fair.
