Grigorian was robbed!!!! How is it possible the last judge scored 30-27 for Roosmalen?!?!
Grigoryan has fought very well, the decision is not fair and there was also a knockdown where Rosmalen cases, and the judge has not counted!!. it is not a fair decision!!!!.
is all clear if you see the game the first round and the 3rd round is of Marat’s
Yes it was a bad decision.
I had it 2 rounds to 1 for Grigorian. Robin won round 2, but Grigorian won rounds 1 and 3
Robin is getting alittle bit predictable. He should change his style more and not just constantly plod forward with a tight guard and chuck haymakers. Thats not going to work on the best guys.
But where is the knockdown??? That I don’t see it looked like a clear slip to me
