    Did Giyasov know that some guys fight with their left hand as the back hand?

    Giyasov looks very one dimensional definitely being exposed here.

    Giya staring a lot, Jack throwing one twos, most of which aren't landing clean. This is woeful. Giya goes down, it was a slip.

    While this make sense, I don't think it should be applied to literally every fight someone has.
    Reminds me of Sergio Martinez vs Darren Barker. I think it was Lederman who said something like: "Sometimes you just have to do enough to win, and focus on performing well the next time". This was due to Barker clearly pushing Martinez and making it a really though and ugly night for him.

    Catterall unfortunately applies this to every one of his fights, when its clear that sometimes he could most likely push the pace and get the kill.
    I am 100% convinced that Catterall can get the KO here if he truly tries.

    "Jack Catterall doing what Jack Catterall does best." Putting the audience to sleep?

    Yes exactly. He got completely outclassed by a genuine top 10 guy and nothing on his resume suggets anything beyond top 20. He's highly skilled compared to journeyman maybe.

    Round 11
    Catterall 10-9
    Catterall 110-98

    Is it really necessary to mention that Giyasov's daughter died? This is the third time they said it. This is just distastful from the commentary.

    Giyasov is infuriating to watch.
