This should be a draw match at most! Poor judgement. First round goes to petrosyan, 2nd round draw, 3rd round kehl wins. So it’s a draw match, should have extra round.
Khel won that or draw + extra round. Great fight but Petrosyan did not win it.
Very good match from two excellent fighters. Kehl still needs more experience to beat a guy like the “doctor”, however he did very well as usual.
The two first rounds went to Giorgio and the third one most likely won by Kehl because Giorgio with no doubts was affected by the low blow he received in this round.
Good decision if you score it by rounds, which they do. I would have liked to have seen 5 rounds.
