Personally I don't see how this can be scored a draw.
For reference, Navarrete scored knockdowns in rounds 4 and 7. I watched this one live and felt, aside from the knockdowns and round 11, that Conceicao won every minute.
Conceicao outlanded Navarrete in EVERY round except 11. He outlanded in power punches every round except 4, 10, and 11. You could even argue that 4 and 7 shouldn't be 10-8 because Conceicao was clearly winning those rounds outside the knockdowns.
I can see giving Navarrete 4, 7, 10, and 11. But the other rounds weren't close. So that's 72+40=112 at best. That gives Conceicao 80+8+8+9+9=114.
Especially looking at the Fury - Ngannou debacle, which Fury was apparently able to edge on the strength of one jab in Rd 2, this seems like a pretty bad decision. What other round did Navarrete earn to make this a draw?
