Terrell Jamal Woods - according to the post on X I saw about it - lost an eight round unanimous decision to Tsotne Rogava last night. Two notable facts about this result is that it was Woods' 100th career fight (29-60-10 1NC 21Kos) and the first time he has been off his feet, having suffered a knockdown in the 8th and final round. Rogave (8-0 7Kos) goes the distance for the first time in his career.
