Watch the fight last night, recorded on 4/28 on SCB30, I'm fairly certain I had it scored draw.

Great fight and not the easiest to score, lots of close rounds. Both guys always answered back after being hit. This is one where I have a hard time criticizing the 116-113 cards, because the rounds were close and depending on where you were setting, I could see a judge scoring it that way for Ayala.
