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
yea, i hate it though when they're backing one fighter and when things go south, they quickly jump shit, Manny Steward does this all the time, and usually throws in a bullshit "i had a feeling this was going to happen"
