I'm not an expert, but my take is this.  Villasenor barely took the first round.  He had a takedown, but did essentially nothing with it. Second round, you shined, came out aggressive, controlled the ring, landed good punches and looked great.  I don't think anyone is really going to argue much with that.  Third round was really tough to judge, and again I am not an expert, but I would, on balance, give it to you.  I think that Joey landed more damaging individual punches--the ones he landed seemed like solid connections.  However, you landed more punches, and way more kicks, but they did not seem as damaging to him.  I think those two aspects score pretty equally.  I think the difference was that you were still the aggressor in the third.  I think the person who dictates the fight and is on the attack (not just responding) has to be given the edge.  I think you looked a little worse for wear at the end, but the guy on offense usually does.  I am obviously a little biased, but that is as objective as I could be.
