Gotta disagree there. I think I had Darnell Boone just beating him.

No way Jaz I don't know what to say if you had that score I suggest rewatching. He got knocked down and gave away the rest of the round but there is simply no argument to be made that he lost 4 rounds of that fight. It was a shock (and a setback) but I think you may be a bit fuzzy on the memory

And yeah that was more difficult then the Findley fight regardless, he had Michael Jordan who had just signed him to an endorsement deal ringside for that one it was a lot of pressure but he didn't lose that fight. The crowd booed the decision but that's no determining factor. I thought he lost 1 round others gave Boone the round after too but certainly no more then that.

Well, maybe I will rewatch it, but I remember thinking when I watched it that Boone got jobbed, I definitely had more than 2 rounds for him. I'll youtube it later, but I know it wasn't a fight that Ward just dropped a single round

I think it was round 3 or 4 he got dropped, he lost that one then possibly spent away the next round. Boone wasn't really landing anything clean but he was firing from a ways out and trying to bully Ward who still hadn't regained his equilibrium. By the end of the round he had his rythym back. I think one judge had it 57-56 and that's about the closest it could have possibly been scored as Boone won at most 2 rounds plus the knockdown. I had it 5-1 but definitely a shakey performance still that happens.
