At the time I think I scored it 116-112, but watching it recently I only gave Oscar 3 rounds. I'm not saying it was a shut-out, it was a pretty competitive fight, but round by round Mayweather was better 9 of the 12 for me.

One case in point is that often as boxing fans we tend to see the guy who finishes stronger as winning the fight if it's close. An obvious example is Cotto-Clottey. Even whilst I scored the fight on paper & had it for Clottey, at the finish I had the impression Cotto had won because he closed out better for me. Or Leonard-Hagler, everytime I watched that I mentally decided Hagler won, but when I actually sat down & scored each round I had it narrowly for Leonard.
i'm not implying that you scored it with a biased mentality, i was referring to Taeth who is always biased towards his favorite fighters, i scored both fights (DLH/Mosley II & DLH/Mayweather) by what i saw, and not by what the dickhead commentators were saying, DLH clearly beat Mosley the second time out and IMO that was robbery, i had DLH winning 4 of the first 6 rounds, constantly backing Floyd to the ropes using his jab, and landing it plenty, once Floyd was on the ropes (in the first half) he would basically cover up or try to grab, after the 6th i didn't have DLH win a round till the 12th
I used to think DLH/Mosley was a robbery, than I watched it without Foreman, Lampley & Merchant & I have to say I had Mosley 115-113. We all like to think that the commentators don't affect our opinion of the action, but basic human nature says it must. How else can you explain almost all of press row that night scoring it for Mosley?

I think only had Oscar winning rounds 2,6 & 12 against Floyd if I remember rightly, just didn't feel he was controlling those other rounds. I'll agree Taeth is biased for Mayweather/Berto/Pacquiao/Dirrell/Rigondeaux etc.
see i can respect your opinion cause you don't just thrash other people for disagreeing with you, unlike Taeth, i've watched Mosley/DLH II without commentary and come up with the same score 116-112 for DLH i felt he controlled most of the first 9 rounds, and Mosley took over a bit winning 3 of the final 4 rounds, agree that HBO's commentators are usually biased, but hey i'm not a drone lol
