Very close fight with a Buakaw still in good shape and managing his job. However, this though sport isn’t the best for people like Buakaw who is getting old and fighting, without choice, with stiffer and younger competition that are making a name by just beating him off. In my opinion the decision could have gone either side.
What are you talking about. He controlled the centre more. Landed better techniques and counters and got hit way less. The sport is corrupt.
Buakaw was clearly robbed.
