As several Fighters turned commentators have proven. Being a former boxer doesn't mean you know how to score a fight. Fighters tend to favor guys that fight similarly to the way they did in their scoring I notice.
I've noticed its a popularity contest. If a fighter who is also a commentator likes the fighter as a person he compliments him, if he doesn't like him, he insults him; I definitely noticed this regarding George Foreman.

I hope you don't judge any fight's anywhere mate I watched it with a fighter[mate] that won 100 professional fight's who fought for 4 decade's in the pro's I thought Mayweather just scraped in the win but my mate thought Oscar did enough it was a very close fight from our view and I wasn't going to argue with someone who forgot more about boxing then most people ever learn.
Scoring is subjective, but I have the utmost confidence in my ability to score a fight competently and fairly. There will always be disagreements amongst fans, but I know what I'm looking at when I look at a Boxing match. I didn't have 100 Professional fights, but I've dedicated hours upon hours of my life to studying and understanding Boxing and I can score it as good as anybody.
Oscar had a lot of aggressive bursts in the fight, but did very little effective landing in my opinion. Especially over the 2nd half of the bout.
In my opinion and most people's your way off the mark but good luck with the judging in the future and the study
Getting back to the OP, I always thought it was strange that Michael Spinks had such a hard time with Eddie Davis and lost some rounds to Oscar Riverdeneyra or whatever his name was. He had some flat performances, but maybe not terrible.
