Both fights were extremely close and I felt in both cases Hopkins and JMM won by a hair.
Obviously i'm not saying you'd score every round to your favourite fighter! What i'm getting at is exactly what you say. Close fights with close rounds you will always score for your fave fighter because his style of fighting is more aesthetically pleasing to you. Therefore giving him the nod. If you're scoring rounds where your fave fighter lost by a mile for him then obviously that's just being far too biased.
