You can always tell who's never seen the fight. I remember Starr-not around much anymore-claiming that Nunn was dominating the fight till the very end.

To a lesser extent, Judah's "dominance" of Kostya till Tsyzu landed the right is overdone. Zab had a good first and did absolutely nothing in the second. Tsyzu was winning that round anyway even though he hadn't landed much of anything big.
I've seen the fight and thought Nunn was clearly ahead over the first 7 rounds or so. He started to tire a couple rounds before Toney caught up with him so it wasn't a shock when he went, but he was certainly leading the fight imo.
I thought Toney clearly won 8, 9, 10, and was winning 11 before he caught him and I thought Toney won seven too so assuming he didn't KO Nunn in the 11th I would have had Nunn only up by a round going into the 12th. Two at most depending on the seventh. Not so much that I question people who think Nunn was winning, its just the idea that Nunn was dominating the entire fight is silly.
