Am I the only one that thinks that Eddie clearly won that fight?

I thought Galindez built up a big lead over the first half of the fight, when Eddie just followed him around and stared at him. Eddie came on strong over the second half, but I didn't think he was decisive enough to overcome Galindez's first half. Plus, he lost a point or two for fouls (albeit those were questionable deductions as I remember).

Ustafa lost that fight himself by not breaking Galindezs rhythm or doing much of note until way too late. Seemed lackadaisical to me.

No Eddie wasn't robbed, he even said himself, after he won the title, that "I wasn't ready for Galindez". I saw the fight on tv, and Galindez won the fight, as much with the help of Eddie's passivity as for anything that he did himself.

Close fight but Eddie's passiveness cost him dearly. Undoubtably, the fight was in his hands but he simply did not take it.

Galindez was helped by the refs in several of his fights. Eddie has always suffered from a lack of aggression. He seemed a little awe-struck in this fight.

To see what he could do, watch his fight with Marvin Johnson.

He beat a tough cookie in Jerry Martin very very easily too.

I saw it. He really put it together for that fight and dominated Marvin. That's the only fight I saw where Marvin didn't give the other guy troubles.

Eddie really seemed to be on his way to being something special until he tried to be a Heavyweight. He never got it together after that.

Despite his passivity, I thought Eddie looked as good as I've ever seen him in this bout, better in some aspects.

I agree.It was the James Scott fight where negativity cost him.I thk he choked in the prison environment there.

Eddie was always a slow paced fighter that did better against fighters that came to him.Even against Johnson and MArtin, which were terrific controlled technical displays, he often fought at a glacial pace.

My favourite is probably the BUrnett fight.He was more active there.
