    Pac Marquez 3 was as suspect as they come.

        DLH schooled a thoroughly perplexed Trinidad
        DLH got robbed vs Mosley too
        Hagler vs SRL was boring AF so I was robbed
        May vs Castillo 1 was close but not a robbery. Just that no one expected him to do as well as he did.

        Have to rewatch Pac JMM 3

          The only thing puzzling to me about Hagler-Leonard is how anyone can score that fight for Hagler or even a draw...Leonard clearly won that...Hagler was probably down 5-1 and the last 6 were competitive.

            All were close enough to go either way. I always think it's a lil silly to go too hard on disagreeing about them when the line within the margin of error considering swing rounds that could go either way among reasonable minds.

            That said the main disagreements I have with these is I am in favor of the Tito win unlike most so while I agree with the official decision I feel going against the consensus makes my take a disputed take from most. I had it 6-5-1 Tito although I do feel it was a fight lost by Oscar more than it was won by Tito. Oscar gave away too many rds late & I felt Oscar was running/avoiding the fight early more than he was outboxing Tito with his jab. I gave Tito's fewer but stronger punches more weight. Thing is those 5 rounds I gave Oscar were wide ass dominant rds problem is they were still just 10-9 rds. Tito eeked out more rds by less impressive edges & edges I can see dispute in but still rds I ultimately couldn't give to Oscar.

            The other one I have the most dispute in is SRL vs Hagler. I thought Hagler took it, but SRL is so effective with stealing rds he got the benefit of the doubt in more rds than he should of. I feel like SRL was a artist at stealing rds & the Hagler fight is his Mona Lisa.
