I thought Floyd pulled it out 8-7. I also thought Floyd won more clear rounds than Ellis.

Ellis winning 9-6 is okay with me. Floyd "falls asleep" in several rounds givving them to Ellis. The fight was there to be won.

After Patterson apparently breaks Ellis' nose, I'd say it was Ellis who "fell asleep" in several rounds, giving the fight to Floyd.

A perfect illustration of the type of senseless nasal damage Rocky50 has spent most of his adult life crusading tirelessly for, by way of his "Prudent Proboscis Protection Awareness Foundation."

Who won?

Where can I see this match? I have read that Dundee was uncomfortable fielding questions from the press. How did the press scoring differ from the ref's decision? If memory serves this fight was decided on the ref's decision alone.
