>> it is time to walk away. <<

i think you're right, martin

and in this case he can walk away with a highly disputable decision (not so with felix)... if that is any comfort

article follows is an interview with one of the judges...i think the guy makes some good points, but where i disagree with the judging, is even though mosely did land harder punches, the blows weren't enough to take out DLH, and there can be no question that DLH "won" on compubox, in other words to give mosely the win after being down on scoring, he needed either a ko or tko...i don't think it's enough to say "he hit harder" therefore he wins...but it's a done deal, i would say time to move on for DLH...

Even though De La Hoya landed more blows, Mosley's were harder and more damaging, Ford said.

"If it was an amateur fight, De La Hoya would have won because all punches are equal," he said. "In pro boxing, harder shots are judged differently. A hard punch counts more. How many taps equal a hard punch? It's a judgment thing, like the strike zone in baseball."
