    Mosley/De La Hoya II: I actually thought Oscar won the fight. I wasn't disappointed with the outcome but I thought Oscar did enough to get the nod.

    JMM/Barrera: I thought Marquez won the fight hands down. Barrera made it very competitive. If the knockdown counted, I still had Marquez up about 2 points.

    Barrera/Morales I: Barrera won that fight but on the other hand I thought he lost the 2nd match-up between the two. So I guess it evened out in the end. The third fight was an obvious win for Barrera.

    Hopkins/Taylor: I'm with Bilbo. Hopkins didn't do much until late in the fights. Taylor's activity won those fights clearly IMO.

    Some other fights I'll throw in there:

    Foreman vs Briggs (1997): Was I the only one that thought George got robbed?

    Holyfield vs Lewis II (1999): Lewis did get robbed the first time but I also think that Holyfield won the fight the second time around.

    To this day I hate the Hopkins vs Delahoya fight. I was not sold on that body shot because it was the his palm of his hand that did him in. In between the 8th and ninth you see Hopkins saying that this was his round something of which he has never done and people screaming body shot the entire round until Oscar went down from it and he gets up after pounding the mat. If there was a fight that was fixed to me then this is the 1. Not to mention they became partners shortly afterwards, which is confusing in its own right.

    While I thought Mosely/ODH was a competitive fight I thought Oscar clearly won it and was robbed.

    I had Bhop vs Taylor 1 a draw but gave the second one to Jermain. Both close fights and it just depended on what you put emphasis on.

    Far from it, there was quite an outcry, but sometimes two wrongs do make a right, eh Axel?

    I thought Foreman won 8 of the 12 rounds. Sad way for him to go out, but the fact probably everyone including Briggs realized it was a message for George to quit from the boxing establishment.

    Thought Lewis won the second one though it was close, not like the first one which was a clear cut win for Lewis.
