What's the closest, most difficult fight to score you've ever seen?

Whitaker vs. De La Hoya and Martinez/Williams 1 are good shouts, just those fights where only a draw would be the best result that the fewest people would argue with. A couple of the McCallum/Toney fights were a bugger to score too.

 

Jones Jr v Hopkins 1 really messy fight

 

6 clean shots in the whole fight. good thing they were all landed by jones

 

The first and second Barrera vs Morales fights. The first fight I though MAB won, but Morales was given the decision. Then in the rematch I thought Morales edged it, but MAB gave El Terrible his first loss. The first fight a top 5 fight of all time.

 

Kotelnik-Alexander I thought Kotelnik won

 

mab-em1

 

Everybody thought Kotelnik won. He pretty much tooled Devon in that fight. :good

 

Juraez v John seems to be a controversial one...though John v Marquez answers the question well.

 

If you found that hard to score then you don't know how to score a fight (only playing).

But, seriously Roy won it clean and clear, although Hopkins did have success and came on. Admittedly Roy was fighting with one hand for parts of it.

 

mallignagi-cotto

 

actually i was thinking of adding this one to the thread as well. honestly i scored it for alexander the first time and it was very tough to score. alexander did land a lot of punches but they had nothing on them and he was on the backfoot all night. on the other hand, kotelnik had better, clean punches but took rounds off way too much

 

it was kinda, sorta but not really. you had to REALLY be looking to give juarez rounds for that draw
