I watch this fight because I knew it was a short one. Surprised to see a very active and reasonable boxer displaying a nice combination of punches but with a total lack of power. Sad to see his efforts and will of staying in the fight waiting for a miracle and/or the offer of a future fight in spite of receiving a brutal beat. A very hard sport with little rewards for reasonable boxers but with very soft hands.
