How was the Arguello fight a draw? I had him winning by a good 2 rounds.n Floyd may count his lucky stars that he got away with that one.

Let this be a lesson to Henry....always fight a man for his belt, never just step in and assume it and then be overly trash talking to it's previous owner.
Sweet P simply came back and took what was rightfully his to begin with.

Now what's up with this Roberto Duran fella?

Do we have to drop this belt again to snatch his belts?

It that's what it takes...this is how we do.

I thought Arguello edged the fight. He seemed to win all three categories I look at, punch stats, round points and feel for the fight in the report. The 3 even rounds, points wise, two of which were low scoring rounds. Thus, it's not hard tot fathom some of the judges gave them to Mayweather, it's his type of round.

Agreed, but for Floyd to be given ALL of them?

It does seem like a bad decision. Not a robbery, but definitely a debatable one.

Lets talk about how California Jackie Wilson was given 8 rounds.
