Luis Alberto Lopez Vargas vs. Reiya Abe & Otabek Kholmatov vs. Raymond Ford - Round by Round.

Kholmatov TURNED HIS BACK.

THE END!!

 

You and I both know it wasn't gonna be happening like that.

 

Stop to say bad things about Bradley. Bradle praised Inoue before Fulton fight.... Bradley is not a racist. But I admit, I watched today fight in French language..... But Bradley is usually respectful. Everybody can have a bad day in the Office!!!

 

He was still standing. This isn't a case of Corrales-Castillo where castillo gets clipped and his head goes into the stands. Kholmatov was hurt but he was still on his feet. The ref should have started an 8 count at that moment and given Kholmatov a chance to finish the fight, there were mere seconds left till the final bell.

 

They rarely ever do standing 8 count in championship fights.

 

What an fantastic fight! What an ending! Woohoo!

 

I'm not denying bias is at hand, I'm just saying it's not a terribly unjustified stoppage.

 

Which is a travesty.

 

Kholmatov was not allowed to wear a knee brace and they think he tore his ACL in the early rounds.

When it rains it pours.

 

It was Chavez-Taylor all over again.

 

This was a really good and close fight (no matter how wide your scorecard was). I’ve seen miles worse stoppages and Kholmatov was clearly badly hurt so all the people screaming robbery are just being dramatic in my opinion. At the end of the day Kholmatov got the benefit of a bad cut from a headbutt swinging momentum back in his favour at a time when he was fading badly and still lost control, got hurt and then stopped. Instead of getting upset about a ‘bs stoppage’ how about we appreciate both fighters and the great fight they put on.
