Either way Mayweather won that fight as far as Im concerned, it was damn close, which is a credit to DLH at his age against the best P4P but I'm not shifting on this. DLH's jab was rendered useless, Mayweather's defensive was stunning as always and everytime DLH attempted a flurry he was countered far more effectively by Floyd. Like I said already percieved momentum (ie the crowd behind a fighter as he looks to be on the assault throwing flurries left right and centre) can cloud things, it can influence decisions but on this occasion it didn't. I'd be saying Mayweather won if the split decision had gone the other way.

And for the record I like DLH, he's been robbed before (ie Trinidad fight) and also taken some 'dubious' decisions his way (ie Whitaker - who he outboxed, much like Mayweather did him)...This one was close but Mayweather took it both in the decision and in reality.
