The fight did not live up to expectations because Oscar was in full retreat throughout the bout. I think Mosley deserved the win.

It was a relatively boring fight, and I wasn't too happy paying the 55 bucks to see it. Immediately after the fight, I thought Oscar won it, but that might have been influenced by the PPV announcers.
I was some happy when I heard "and NEW".....as I did have a dime on Sugar at +210
Oscar really does look like sore grapes bitching about the results, that's boxing.
Also I like the mystery and intrigue of not knowing the scores until the end of the fight.

You guys are talking like you really believe these things are on the up and up. How are they going to fix the fights if the score is posted after each round?
I'm not saying the fighters don't try their hardest (though sometimes they obviously don't), just that the outcome is pre-determined unless one fighter scores a knockout.
The "sport" of boxing is all about the money, which leads to my next point. Isn't it interesting how many times tonight's fight sets up a lucrative re-match? Amazing how often that happens.
I don't like this anymore than the next guy but it is the sad truth.
VVV
p.s. One thing they could do (they never will) would be to require the judges to electronically record their score after each round, in a secure fashion that could not be changed after it is entered. That would at least make them be more clever how they fix the outcome.
p.p.s. Oscar or any other fighter has no room to whine about the outcome of these fights. Knock the other guy's head off instead of backing up all night long.

no way mosely wins 7 rounds...he finished stronger,but the last time i checked,the first 6 rounds still count....have to get your hands out of your pockets,shane....you have oscar`s number and could have won handily....since the forrest losses,shane has become gunshy...
daddy was pleading for shane to stop oscar if he wanted to win....and shane`s expression when the decision was announced,speaks volumes...
good point on making refs post their scores after each round....
both barrera-morales fights were scored ass-backwards.....castillo got jobbed in the first mayweather fight....holi gets a draw in the first lewis fight ,while losing clearly...
and the money flew in late on holi in that fight....much like the heavy late money in this fight flew in on mosely....any correlation?......lol...
you win more rounds,you win the fight....it`s round by round...not who finishes stronger...that`s why the round posting idea makes sense....
my 2 cents....high profile bouts are risky business....to much money involved....
