Those two guys who had it 146 - 139 must have had no idea what they were looking at. Fekkin eejits!

I don't want to tally mine up, for fear of Holmes losing on my cards :)
I'll tally it up soonish.

Holmes of course was older, though he still had fast hands and he fought well at times, especially late. Williams showed inexperience but he got by with his youth and a very good jab, he probably had a better chin than Holmes expected. Decent fight, tough to score with some close rounds, but I thought Williams was the clear winner. Glad to see that robinson did not score it 11-4 as two of the judges did. As I said in the other thread; don't try to suggest that Ali was the only fighter who got a couple of breaks late in his career. A lot of great fighters did. If Williams was a bit more experienced, rather than being 16-0, he probably wins more easily. If Holmes were in his prime he certainly wins the fight more legitimately. Still, with these judges, Holmes if he made it the distance would probably have gotten the decision whatever Williams had done in the fight.

It looks like Robinsons came out 144-143 (7-6-2) for Holmes, if I've tallied properly.
