    What a ****ing round! Makabu finishes the fight out on his feet
    And I can't believe they went 12!

    Agreed
    Krusher takes his time and breaks him down or Yard pushes the pace and ends up KTFO

    Draw would be fair after that KD but Papin showed he deserves to be at the level

    if there hadn't been a knockdown here, it would have been a clear Papin round.

    115-112 Makabu

    Excellent fight, Makabu seals it with the knockdown. Pippin gives a good account of himself.

    In my view a close Makabu decision is the best decision, but this is pretty close and in Russia.

    I would be surprised if Makabu doesn’t get the nod here. Especially with the knockdown in the 12th that he got.

    Fancy being the bigger man and being pushed back all fight. Makabu is a serious fighter don't Rob him.

    I didn't score but I think it would be kinda hard to find 7 rounds for Papin.
