Worse than AA vs Paul Smith that they made enough fuss about to get a rematch.
It was hard-fought and evenly matched.
IF you like McD's defence and punch-picking you could have him winning 7-5. I certainly think he woulda got 5 of rounds 7-12 for most judges, then he only needs the 2nd and 5th.
I agree it stinks - those scores were entered b4 watching the fight, but IF it'd been (say) 115-113, 114-114 and 115-114 I wouldn't be moaning.
It wasn't obvs :(
