I thought the Steele fight was a draw, maybe he just edged it as the judges thought. He slept walked thru the first half of the fight, and had to come on strong to pretty much sweep the second half. Not sure what took him so long to get going, but I'll take the win. Hope has been a pretty solid computer based opponent this season.

Duran was lucky to get a draw and his disappointing season continues.

Both guys deserve rematches somewhere soon down the line.

I don't think Julian Jackson wanted to fight Mayweather?

I made the same mistake at first - it was John Jackson rather than Julian.
