Houston is an awesome guy, and his fights really haven't yet let him truly shine; I did feel he had too much respect for Kimbo and as such didn't fight with as much aggression as is appropriate for him.
In my opinion Houston won and the judges scored it funny.
Yet & still - excellent display of sportsmanship.

you are forgetting control of the octagon. Kimbo controlled the center.. and with the exception of the leg kick that caught Kimbo off balance, his leg kicks did literally no damage. I think Huston is a great fighter.. but this was his weakest performance to date. Maybe if he had been the aggressor in some way.. the fight may have gone his way.
