I was shocked too. I was shocked as soon as they announced it was a split decision (as well as being shocked every time they showed the press row scoring which I also thought was seriously off (in favor of Peter--especially the first press guy)).

I have a hard time judging whether this was worse than the Quartey-Forrest decision though. Both were really awful.
The show time announcers were sucking off Toney through out the whole fight, the same way HBO was sucking off Quartey the whole fight. SO if you were paying attention the story the commentators were painting you should be upset with the decision.
Disagree completely. The announcers called it as closer than it actually was. BTW, are you actually saying that you thought Forrest deserved the W over Quartey (and that it was just HBO hyping him)?? Even Forrest knew he didn't win the fight (just like, if you saw Peter's face before the result, he knew he didn't win either).
