Exactly, and that's key. Diaz won the close rounds because he had the better combinations and seemed to do more damage. I think he also landed a lot more power punches, something like 40 more? Most of that was definitely in round 2 and round 4, I realize that, but look at round six for example. That was a close one, but you can't really give it to Paulie because Diaz landed the better punches. Maybe not more, but definitely the better ones.
I'm betting the people who scored it for Paulie gave him round 6 and 8 - the closest two rounds of the fight.
