I have that same score card cept for the first two rounds. I think the seccond was clearly Tito's and the first was even. So I had Tito by 1.Originally Posted by Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker
Nothing happend in the first round and Tito landed the more meaningful blows in the seccond. DLH just jabbed.
But like I said, this is just my opinion. It really bothers me though when people call this a robbery. It was pretty damn close and Oscar only has himself to blame for what happend.
This fight is often reffered to as the night Tito got exposed like if he wasn't that good or overrrated. Fact is Oscar did a hell of a job and fought a nearly perfect fight for the better part of 9 rounds. It was the best of Oscar we had ever seen and it's a real shame that he didn't follow through and win the fight. But it also shows alot that Tito cooly weathered the storm and kept the fight close enought to pull out the W in the end. Nobody got exposed that night. It was just two great fighters that fought to a stalemate. And it's a black eye for boxing that the rematch never got made.
