    Great scrap, absorbing to watch, hard to score but 6-4 Martinez, 8-2 plausible.

    Impressive 10 rnds.

    It can be scored either way

    I am getting a strong feeling it will be a close Mbilli win. Not because that is necessarily the correct score but because I have a feeling Mbilli is "supposed" to win if it goes to decision by de facto.

    Thought Martínez edged it with more effective punches.

    What a fight, insane neither one of them went down at all.. reminded me of Tua-Ibeabuchi.

    Id have given it to Martinez, felt like his work was just a little cleaner - hard to score though.

    I didn't score but I'd lean Martinez, when he got separation he got some work done. I will say he billy goated too much.

    Fight gave me brain damage with all the clean leather landing

    Well they actually gave Martinez a draw I'm shocked bad decision though Martinez clearly won that.
