He was 11-12 down on points with about 45 seconds left in round 4, but he thought (guessed) he was up on points, so he got on his bike and wouldn't exchange (proper Bernard Hopkins-Howard Eastman style). If he'd stood and fought the last 45 seconds he could have scored a couple of points and won.

Teddy atlas was fumming last night...suggestying there is something wrotten within the US camp. To paraphrase his statement Despite the funny scoring every fighter who is losing has seemed to understand he is losing, every fighter who is winning has seemed to know he is winning, except for the US fighters

Warren handled himself ina completely classless way after the final bell
