Have boxing judges ever scored a draw that fans didn't get upset about?

Since Miguel Angel Gonzalez just challenged Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, I was thinking back to Gonzalez vs. Chavez Sr. and the rain of debris that the audience threw into the ring. Has it ever been just the opposite?

    Actually I don't remember the audience's reaction to the Manny Pacqiau vs Juan Manuel Marquez fight but I remember that I wasn't too upset with the decision. PacMan dominated the early round knocking him down three times and Marquez barely survived and yet he came back to win several rounds and make it a close match. Technically, I think if the scoring was perfect, Pacman should have been a point or two ahead but it was a hell of a fight and I thought that Marquez deserved the draw just for his heart and the fact that he stood in there and came back from that deficit. Perhaps many will differ in opinion but I think it will help both careers now in the long run if a fight is to be built between them. No matter who wins the second match a third is almost a given. I did think Barrera deserves a rematch with Marquez if he wants it first however as that fight I WAS unhappy with the scoring of. lol

    I haven't seen many draws, but whenever I have the fans have got upset, and while I don't condone throwing objects into the ring I can understand why it's frustrating: fans want and expect a clear winner, and a draw is a major anti-climax.

    Wright vs. Taylor? I don't remember the fans being too upset about it, even the commentators agreed to a certain extent.
