I am surprised the ref stopped the match in round 12. Why was it stopped, I didn't get it?? I was wondering what the scorecards were like.
Yeah... the same. I threw a fit about it on the RBR a few years back when it happened. There was less than 30 seconds, and Akavov wasn't close to getting stopped, it was just a gift TKO to one up Billy Joe, that the ref gave him. Akavov ol won one round on all three of the official scorecards, the one he hurt Andrade in.
Shoe is now on the other foot. Andrade is at a point where he wants the big money, big spectacle fights and hes the one having to fight the guy looking for the big fights. I wouldnt be shocked if Andrade dumps the belt if he can get a big fight at 160/168
