I actually thought that was a bad decision. But it depends on your method of scoring. Cro Cop hit Hunt with more shots. And hit Hunt with harder shots. But because Hunt has an iron chin, Hunt didn't appear to be hurt. Cro Cop has a weaker chin, so Hunt's punch in the third round stunned Cro Cop, causing it to look like Cro Cop was running away from Hunt.

IOW, under an amateur boxing scoring system, Cro Cop wins easily.

Under a round scoring system (a la UFC), Cro Cop wins, because he won the first two rounds.

But under the Pride scoring system (where the entire fight is judged as a whole), Hunt could be seen as winning. (I disagree, but I'm biased, because I'm a Cro Cop fan.)
