R1 - Hall - Ribchev Hall starting off confidently. Feinting a fair bit, using the jab. Hall trying to get on the inside and work the body. Rib catches Hall with a nice jab. Hall working Rib on the ropes but most blocked. Hall cut somwhere along on the forehead. Rib throwing back, meeting Hall quite well and working the body of Hall. Both very evenly matched at this point. Hall not looking very sharp. Fairly even round, but 10-9 Hall.
Had a problem with his breathing so had to have an op on his nose to sort it out. He's been in the gym for months but hasn't been able to box until recently because of it.
R2 - Hall - Ribchev Hall letting his hands go at the beginning of the round but Rib meeting him with punches. Hall trying to work Rib against the ropes but Rib blocking fairly well. Hall trying to work but a lot of his work being blocked and Rib throwing a lot of punches and catching Hall at times. Both putting up a good work rate but not much between the two in terms of landed punches. Hall landing some good body punches but Rib is coming back and taking everything Hall throws. Too much of an even round for me. 10-10
go for him!!!! ribchev was on eurosport i believe or something, and was called 'firsh'. because he was hard to hold on to, the commentator said "fish maybe because he is easy to catch"
