This is what Teddy Atlas said.
"Its only one of two things, its either incompetence or corruption. When you see 117-111, I dont think anyone could be that incompetent. Im sorry. If you know the sport, you watch the sport, you cant be that incompetent," Atlas was quoted by The Herd Now.
"You see whos landing clean, whos just throwing, whos not landing clean, who almost got knocked out, you cant be that incompetent. So what else could it be? Corruption. Nothing else. Im sorry. I love this sport, its the greatest sport in the world. It was a great day, a great night back where you guys are. It was great for the fans out there to get it on free TV, brought back to free TV where boxing belongs. It was great! It was great theater. Theres no theater like boxing. Nothing. But the decision stunk."
Not contradicting you lightskintwint, just thought it was interesting that quite a lot of experts also feel this way. I've banged on enough about how Arum cannot be trusted, but this really his is MO. But you are right aggression, controlling the middle of the ring, and the crowd plays a huge role. But that is still quite a big discrepancy.
