Those are just some points I've come across that must minus points etc. Those are absurd shocking statements. Whoever the judge is needs to call a halt to this fight,Bruce has won this.
Wooah hang on a minute I'm also a judge in this thing and folks I can say now I'm going all Dick Flaherty here but I saw ICE winning this.

We have to remember what the original question was here and that is 'Is the current welterweight era the best ever?'

To my mind Bruce as eloquent as some of his rebutalls were never actually addressed this core question, preferring instead to launch a personal attack on Floyd Mayweather.

Ics got dragged off course as well but he managed to bring it back to the central question that was ultimately the whole point of the debate.

The question was is this era the best ever and brucelee never even directly answered the question.

Ice did, attempting to show that Ray Robinsons welterweight era had less big stars than the present and Bruce never succesfully countered that imo. In fact he virtually conceded as much when he said that Robinson was so dominant he overshadowed everybody else.

Reading through bruce's posts again and time and again he went back to challenging Floyd's resume, which just wasn't the question.

Don't get me wrong, I thought Ice was sloppy at times and he'll need to tighten up his debating defense if he's to hold on to his title in future bouts but I think by making more of an attempt to answer the original question he did enough to take the bout and retain his belt.
