Beefy doing well, working him over with consistent jabs to the face, and short one twos. His pressure is starting to suffocate Kurbanov, who's eating more and more clean shots and is holding more and more. Kurbanov lands a counter right that badly rocks Beefy, but he shakes it off quickly and return fire. That one shot, this time, wasn't enough to flip the round.

116-112 Smith

 

Yeah, I feel the same, granted the first four rounds were close, but like you, I have a hard time finding enough rounds to swing Kurbanov's way to justify any kind of a win. A Draw? Yeah, sure... that's fine. But even then, that KD that the ref conveniently missed would've have still swung it Liam's way. So in no way can I see Magomed taking this outright.
