One of the most controversial boxing matches in history. Floyd was not on my radar at this time of his career, I was all about the heavyweights especially Lennox Lewis.
In watching the fight back - and I've seen it at least three times over the years - there was no situation where I saw a robbery. I saw a very close contested fight - and what really made it "controversial" might be people ignoring the point deductions.
I counted 4 swing rounds. That's a lot. Two I gave to Floyd, two I gave to Jose.
Either way, this was a pick-em and definitely warranted the rematch which was still close, but clearer for Floyd.
