Final score was 9-8.
There was a terrible mess-up by Warren/his corner.. he was only one point down throughout the the last round yet amazingly spent the last 45-60 seconds keeping out of range, throwing no punches

He clearly thought he was in front.
I'm not sure.

When they took of his gloves he appeared disconsolate and he threw the glove from him in annoyance.

*It is possible they told him he was in front in order to prevent him boxing wildly in the last round and then instructed him to box cobservatively, only to see him defend the lead, before revealing that he had lost!!!
Why would he not throw a punch for 45 secs if he KNEW he was behind though? That is a shocking mistake on the corners behalf, surely?

There were loud chants of USA all the way through. Maybe that confused them into thinking he was in front

I thought he threw the glove off in a "what a fuck up" kind of way.
