    Round 9

    Kim throws some hooks and wild rights, backing Rahimov up. Lots of wrestling on the inside, and as much resting. Kim is winging shots left and right, while Rahimov just backs up and tries to pot shot from range with a few jabs and straight rights. Kim is swarming him, even though he's exhausted. Kim is having to drape his head over Rahimov's shoulder for a second before getting going, but then slapping away as Rahimov tries to squirm back outside.

    10-9 Kim

    88-83 Rahimov

    89 - 82 Alisher

    Kim won the ring on activity the only work Alisher had was a 3 punch combo right hand, left uppercut, and right I think. Kim outworked him but not much landed cleanly.

    So did I, but Kim hasn't really earned more than a couple of rounds at best using proper scoring criteria.
