It was an absolute nail-biter! Two judges scored it 115-113, while the third had it at 115-114, highlighting just how closely contested this bout was.
But here's where it gets controversial... In the 12th round, Davis landed a blow that looked like a knockdown. Gilley stumbled, and many thought he went down. However, the referee ruled it a slip. Was it the right call? That's sure to spark some debate! Despite the non-call, Davis's career-best showing earned him a well-deserved victory. What do you think, should it have been scored a knockdown?
