Unofficial HBO scorer Harold Lederman had Foreman clearly winning the fight at 116–112 (eight rounds to four), but none of the three official scorers had Foreman the victor.
The fight ended with a unanimous points decision for Calzaghe with the judges awarding the contest 117-111, 116-112 and 116-112 (Curiously, the British and Danish press commentators had the fight somewhat closer at 115-113 while the U.S. commentator Harold Lederman at HBO had the fight a wide 117-111 for Calzaghe).
The unofficial Associated Press scorecard had Mercer clearly winning the fight by the score of 97–93, while HBO's unofficial ringside scorer Harold Lederman scored the bout a draw 95–95.
