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.
Please watch it again, I have no idea how you could say you think Houston clearly won. The first round was a toss up, neither fighter initiated anything. Kimbo clearly took the second round, taking Houston down several times and catching him with some nice shots. If you don't think Kimbo initiated anything, please re watch the second round. The third round was much like the first, both fighters were spent and Houston had nothing left at all. If you consider the first and third rounds a draw or at least give one to one fighter and the other to the other, then Kimbo clearly won the fight with a decisive second round. Houston lost the fight because he stuck so rigidly to his fight plan to circle and throw leg kicks and he never deviated even though he was behind in the fight and needed to start throwing some punches.
