It's ludicris that they didnt even give him a draw.
All the newspapers around my way are saying it was somehow set up, for the simple fact that there was a "surge" in bets placed on Mosley real close to fight time.
He was the underdog, and all of a sudden he was the favorite.
Vegas had a hand in all this.

And the newspapers and boxing analyst I've read said it was a close fight that could have gone either way. Because Mosely was more aggresive and was never really hurt by DLH it was big factor in a close fight. What kills me are DLH fans who forget he won the same kind of fight against Pernell Whitaker. Whitaker outboxed him and confused him and DLH got some real solid hits and was the agressor. There was no conspiracy talk then. The fact is; in a close fight the fighter who seems to win exchanges who is stronger at the end of the fight will win. DLH is a great fighter and a class act, (up until Saturday). Its just a shame he can't say I lost to a good fighter.
