Very active fight with nice knock downs and an unexpected recoveries. Samedov , is probably the smaller fighter in this category who is able to compensate quite well this disadvantage by means of speed, his solid techniques and because is a precise puncher with an excellent uppercut. He fully dominated the fight closing it with a very good and final effort in spite of being almost exhausted. Paul’s recoveries were incredible but he hasn’t chances at all in front of a such a good rival.
