The fight was even anyway. And the rematch will be given, if their passways are close to be crossed.

The 6th and 8th round did Jackson in. He was doing great in the 6th until he got clipped. That cost him a 2 point swing in that round, plus not into it the next round either. The 8th round, which Ali won on all cards was dead even. Hard to see how all 3 judges sided with Ali. Still, Jackson made Ali work for the win and showed his upside for this season.
