It was pretty much Pettis’ activity that won him the fight, which to be fair to the judges was consistent with how they scored earlier fights on the card. Honestly if Roy threw even 50% more punches he probably wins easy but that’s what killed him in the end. Like I said, while I had Roy 77-75 I could’ve seen the same score for Pettis since some of the rounds were tough to score.
1UpKatana: You don’t know how boxing fights are scored then. Simple as that.
