The reason that fight is controversial is because of ten point must. Anyone being fair cannot score the fight any better than 113/112 Tommy; thus a split draw is fair.
It is just Ray sneaked a few of his winning rounds and Tommy dominated his winning rounds. But with the exception of the knock down rounds, he did not do enough to win them any better than 10-9; which is the same as Ray got for winning rounds by landing half dozen more punches......
A lot of the fights being mentioned were close not robberies. However Leonard himself admitted he should not have got the decision. Hearns jab won most of the rounds, Leonard had two big rounds think the last and round 5 but the knockdowns were the definite clinchers. (Another reason to hate you Brit Kid- LOL)
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
