Fun scrap thanks to the style matchup and the heart of the competitors.
Lots of grueling up-close work, plenty of bad intentions, and close up to the bell. I didn’t see it as the judges did, but it really doesn’t matter. The momentum swings with every other punch.
Great fight, worth the three stars, I also did not see what the Judges saw. I had Foot a few feet ahead. Entertaining, its a pity that some of the higher weight divisions didn’t put as much energy into their fights.
What a snore-fest. 3/4 of every round was spent in clinches.
