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
Lol fair enough. I thought Oscar took most of the early rounds & then started to gas a little after the 6th, with Mosley taking over from there. Can't remember which rounds went to who. HBO's commentators are hilarious, watching an Oscar fight, he could have swing & miss by a foot & Lampley would go "aaannd there's Oscar with a HUGE LEFT HOOK THAT CONNECTS!"

What's great is when the commentary team & Lederman go in completely opposite directions. Like when Lederman scored a round for Collazo in the Berto fight that was about a clear a Berto round as there was. Meanwhile Lennox is acting like Berto is the reincarnation of SRR in a solid Collazo round. I think Teddy Atlas & Lederman would be a match made in heaven, certainly comedy wise
