rd12 was really ugly, almost all clinching and holding. Mormeck did land a few power shots. Timur did almost nothing 10-9 mormeck No idea how this fight will go to the cards since I didnt see the first 7 rds.
4 inches in height, and a 3 inch reach advantage that went to waste...Timur had no idea how to use those assets to his advantage.
Just caught the last 6 rounds, not really able to score it. I'd give Mormeck rounds 7-8, not sure about 9, but 6 + 10-12 looked like Ibragimov's (though there was a deduction against Ibragimov). Ugly styles got uglier as they got tired. Ibragimov hitting and holding, not using his reach advantage. Mormeck bulls forward and eventually runs out of gas, and isn't getting effective shots in by the 11th. Not sure who was initiating more holds, probably Ibragimov. SD for Mormeck.... Looking forward to catching the first 6 rounds later. They were probably more interesting.
Neither guy is probably a top 20 heavyweight but don't be shocked to see the winner get a big fight next, especially if its Mormeck since he does well in France which could be enticing for a big heavyweight fight.
I was never a fan of timur anyhow. I am glad mormeck got the win here whether he deserved it or not I cant say. The last few rds werent all that exciting and neither man was very impressive. Good to see Barney Rubble out there supporting his brother.
He deserved it, landed the harder shots, showed good inside skills and tactics, boxed to his strenghts. Igragimov held constantly with his left and never used his reach.
