I scored it 7-5 for 115-113. There were 3 rounds which were v close and I scored those 2-1 to Burns. On that basis you could have it a draw also. Although having said that you could see Kats looked a beaten man as soon as the bell went and Burns the opposite, so I think a draw would have flattered Kats. 7-5 is a 100% correct scoreline imo. 8-4 is I suppose also ok. I disagree with all 3 official cards, certainly too wide, very very flattering.
Agreed, worst case for Kats was 116-112, i had it 115- 113 with Burns a worthy winner. He will do well in the States and this fight will give him great experience against a pressure fighter. I expect Burns to go all the way.
