in the post fight press conference he pretty much agreed he won. i mean he's not gonna say "yeah i lost", but he let it be known why he won.
i don't give a fuck that much, but i think he shoulda just did the Cowboy thing, when he won Benson. it's pretty much agreed upon (even to himself) that Cowboy lost. after the fight when someone would ask a question to him about his "win", he would say some shit like "it's a hard win, he's my friend". never going into an answer with some "i did my thang", or "i deserve the win", but never saying he lost.
