I outlanded him, yes, and he was very busy in there. Good fight overall i thought
    Out of pure curiosity Iceman, if you have scored the fight (I am assuming you have), what is the score that you come out of it with most?

      I don't ever score, I was just criticizing the fact that the closest scorecard was 18-10... that was ridiculous.

            Whitaker, Pacquiao and Casamayor..all great straight lefts..

            Whitakers was the cleanest, Pacquiao's probably had the most power..Casamayor 50/50

                To tell u the truth, I dont think I have ever watched that fight all the way through, from 1 to 12. But even if I had I dont have the patience to actually score fights. I know that when it was over and we were waiting, I was thinking it was going to be a draw or a one or two point fight either way. It's hard to tell though when u are IN a fight...how it FEELS and how it LOOKS arent always the same thing

                  That's why I'm always so confused when people throw a fit after the fight when they think they should have gotten a 115-113 decision... like Taylor-Wright. Anyone who is in a fight should not ever be certain that they won 7 rounds beyond a shadow of a doubt.

                    I agree with this. Plus some may NOT agree but after watching almost every Pernell Whitaker fight I've learned that Whitaker's body punches were his best weapon.

                      The body punches he threw against Chavez were ****ing cringe worthy man!
