Fight was alot closer than i remember, had Macos Maidana not of had a point deducted. It would of been a draw IMO. No way Amir Khan won any of the championship rounds, i don't know what some of you guys are watching.

Amir Khan basically was on the backfoot the whole round, and except for a few flurries. Marcos Maidana was the aggressor and outlanded Amir Khan, and controlled the round more.
I haven't seen the Khan fight, but you were spot on with Mares V Vic. I had it exactly the same way, people down here are whinging about the Vic decision, what they don't realise is Abner Mares took the fight to Vic and out worked him throughout the fight especially the latter rounds. Mares is one tough kid, he took some fearful punches and still managed to come on strong in the final rounds. Vic did not have a bad night, he was simply beaten by a fighter more determined to work harder, i can't wait to see how he goes against Agbeko and i would like to see him fight Vic again.
