There's no way Floyd landed almost half his punches. Total bull****, 10000%. I agree Floyd won a close fight, but most of his punches were caught by DLH's gloves, and it's very obvious that ringside observers thought they landed, because Lampley and co kept talking about "big right hand from Floyd!!" and it would clearly be blocked.
I've said a million times, ever since I saw my first fight from ringside, that ringside is one of the worst seats in the house. If you don't believe me, fork out the cash and sit there for a fight. It'll make more sense. Judges should have a view slightly above the fighters, roughly at the camera angle used for broadcast. That's why we look at the judges like they are crazy so much, they simply can't see **** from looking up at the action from below the fighters feet. It's ridiculous. And in this case, with a lot of blocked punches, the punchstat guys obviously had a tough time as well.
