I agree with this and I was rooting for Virgil , but knew the scoring was going to be interesting as I felt Ortiz swept the championship rounds ...They basically gave him the nod in every round that could have been considered close . It was a good fight , run it back .....
That seems a good explanation. Some people may feel that given the champion was the other guy this was not fair. So hard to make sense of all the possible ways one could see the fight.
It's definitely deserving of a rematch. Scorewise I 100% agree with the thread starters score but although they were both hurting each other, I feel Ortiz took more damage.
But, if you feel Ortiz took more damage, how can you believe that he won? I thought that judges usually judge by who lands the cleaner, more effective punches. You pretty much said that was Bohachuck.

Not if you score it rd by rd. You can take the worst of it in rds and still win a boxing match. It's not like Ortiz wasn't dishing it back clean either, he was just getting timed with a right hand.

As others have said, they need to run it back! I bet Ortiz won't, because it's too risky for his future big fights. Oscar will protect him.
