That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Khamzat Chimaev.
Well Chimaev has outscored his opponent in every aspect of the fight today. Only a scarily incompetent judge or two will keep him from a well deserved win... Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

Judge Vladimir Khabensky scores the fight 30:27
Judge Konstantin Menshow scores the fight 30:27
Judge Fedor Mirinova scores the fight 30:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Khamzat Chimaev! |
