Can't understand round 11.....from where did that knockdown come from? from a virus in the software...that's where......goes to show that it was meaningless as P comes back to win all the last 3 rounds on every card.


How surprising that another genuine win by Whitaker over a major name ends in a draw.

[DaveyMac]

How the heck can you think Whitaker won? He lost 8 rounds, the first five, and he got knocked down!!!

Leonard was the one robbed!!!!

[armageto]

Going by the RBR scoring, Leonard won. Going by punchstats, I had Leonard. Reading the fight report and flow of the fight, that seemed like Leonard as well. I thought there was some close rounds on both sides, but thought Leonard won.


FINALLY Duran gets his win against Mayweather! Great way to end the season.
