I'm not gonna argue this except to say....at the very, I dont think he lost that fight, and especially not unanimously to the lopsided scores that were posted. A draw or either fighter winner a very close split decision seemed to be more appropriate.

The Chavez fight was worse, so bad that it was on the cover of SI. That fight was not even close at all and was ruled a draw. Absolutely shameful for all involved.

Joy to watch too (assuming one likes boxing). Very elusive, hard to hit, then he'd throw a sneaky left hand. Nickname was "sweetpea".
