TRUTH VS HOLMES.....................WHO REALLY WON?

Holmes. I think Carl just surprised everyone by beating the bar.

I scored it for Williams.

I scored for Holmes. But Williams gave his career best performance

At the time I gave it to Williams 11-4. Couple of close rounds could have gone to Holmes. The word robbery is way overused, but it applies here.

I disagree, but that's ok.

You really thought Holmes won? I just don't see how. He looked way off most of the fight. Williams constantly outjabbed him.
Two of the judges gave Holmes 11 of the rounds, which was unbelievable.

I agree it was closer than the scoring, but Holmes won. I believe it was a case of a fighter doing so much better than expected that may have influenced you in your scoring. It's happened to me as well.

No, I thought Williams should have got the decision because he simply outworked Holmes and was sharper. It really was not that surprising given Holmes obvious decline by then.

Ok, fair enough.
