Macklin actually lost Most felt he won though. He racked up most of the early rounds so there's a big argument for him winning.

Murray however clearly lost and somehow got a draw

Two very bizaree situations.

Over time it has somehow changed into "Murray was robbed!!!" which is absolutely laughable in every way.

Most people were shocked that Murray was competitive, which, to his credit, his was. More competitive than anyone expected and did win a few rounds.

But, absolutely no way did he win the fight. And the vast majority, including UK Media, felt he didn't win the fight and was lucky to get the draw.

I also scored it it for Sturm, and I don't think Murray deserved to win. But I don't think it's crazy to call it a legit draw. There were enough close toss up rounds to make a respectable case for for a draw.

Dude, you yourself scored it a draw.
