It really was a tricky fight to score. Do you give Floyd the round for being more elusive and landing touch scoring punches or do you give Pac the round for being the come forward aggressor and landing the harder shots although less often?If you rewatch the fight, both of them only win 2 rounds very clearly, imo.
Originally, I had Floyd by a comfortable margin, but on rewatch with a friend, scoring together, its actually quite close.
Most of the rounds can go either way, really. The thing is in many of these rounds, Floyd perhaps got more punches in, but Pac got the better harder punches. But, Floyd also appeared more in control in terms of controlling the distance. I think that sense of control really made it feel like Floyd won those rounds.
I dunno, I think Floyd is the right winner, but it's actually close. Pac got in a lot more punches than I remembered, but they are so quick, and Floyd gets out of the way, that they don't look like much always.
As you stated, both fighters only won a few rounds each decisively with about 8 rounds being very close rounds that could have went either way depending on what criteria one was using to score the round.
Re-watching it without the distraction of a fight party going on in my house I had Pac winning rounds 3,4,6,9,10 with Floyd winning 1,2,5,7,8,11,12. 7-5 Floyd but I can see how some could have a different score due to many of those rounds being very close swing rounds.Comment

Mosley is allowed to have an opinion. It doesn't make me mad. It's just an opinion. If it makes you mad, put the computer in sleep mode and go ride a bike.Comment
