"Should the ref not deduct a point, Denkaosen could have earned a split decision. This reporter, however, saw it 114-112 for Sakata with the tallies almost identical with Padilla’s except in the third, when the judge gave it to Denkaosen, but yours truly to Sakata (as the other two judges did). Had it been held in Las Vegas, Sakata would have been rendered a decision in favor of him, even if close or split, thanks to his better use of jabs throughout the contest and nearly complete domination in the last five sessions."
