Disappointing display by Buakuw…
buakaw won that fight he got robbed again
fareal. if you hurt buakaw you like a hero nowadays
i gave buakaw the last two rounds with those vicious knees. but i guess if you hurt buakaw you get a W lol
robbed
Buakaw won clearly…
Don’t get me wrong since I like very much Buakaw but he was fully dominated in the first round by the Russian who is a master hitting with the elbows. This round sealed the result of this fight. The other two were close but second one slightly better also for the Russian. He also beat Buakaw in Muay Thai techniques putting him down in the canvas several times. The Russian is quite good, first time I saw him, and fully deserves the victory. Judges were right.
