Actually watching the fight back tonight with the sound off and in slow motion I can see why the judges gave it to Williams.
I had him winning 7 rounds, they were close and Lara's rounds were more impressive but when you total them up they got the right man imo.
There were one or two rounds where I initially though Lara had won them, but in these I decided to watch them frame by frame both running forwards and backwards and when you run it in slow motion, backwards, frame by frame William's seems to be taking less shots than I though originally. I found in those rounds most of the punches that I had thought were landing flush when replayed backwards actually go away from his face.
So in all a very good call by the judges, in what was admiteddly a tought fight to score.
