I think a draw was fair, but if anyone deserved to win it was Mosley. I stopped scoring the fight out of disgust about half way through, but I had already given Mosley four rounds at that point and he won at least two more (11 and 12) after that. The more I think about it, the more I think I would have Mosley winning if I watched it again.

I actually thought only the first half of the fight was horrible. From about round 7 onwards it developed into a pretty interesting fight and the championship rounds were excellent.
It really wasn't quite the bore fest that it's made out to be, although it certainly started out that way.
Having watched it properly, I now think Mosley was a fairly convincing winner. Mora was just far too negative to take the close rounds. 8-4 Mosley sounds about right to me. It wasn't all that close in the end as Mosley really worked to hustle the final stanza.
