I feel it should have went to Oscar, but when a fight is this close, you just never know. This was not a bad decision when compared to an actual, REAL bad decision like, say, the first Lewis Holyfield fight.
I taped the fight and will watch it again. Everyone will always have differing opinions on who won when two fighters are so evenly matched.
I did feel that Oscar was tiring down the stretch (wich suprised me) and that Shane was not. The reason I thought Oscar won was that Shane just took too damn long to get started. He threw one good punch in round one, and then just stopped throwing punches.
I think Shane COULD have won dramatically if he had just stepped up a little and not given Oscar so much respect. He still seems timid since he was dropped by Forrest. And Mosley has never been known as a timid fighter.
Hopefully this win will reinstall his confidence, and he will begin to kick much ass in the division.

Very well said. Remember when you watched it also, that those at the fight feel that Mosley hit De La Hoya much harder (and cleaner) and won scoring categories like "ring generalship."
