The Providence Journal felt this was a very bad decision reporting that all ringside scribes gave Blackwood six rounds, with two reporters favoring Blackwood 7-3 and 7-2-1. Blackwood appeared to win as he pleased, though he coasted frequently from the 7th round on. Zannelli appeared tired, and past his best, per the Providence Journal.
