    Round 10

    Rahimov is hooking to the body as Rahimov tries to spear him up top with a right. Kim is just eating shots and firing back. Arm punches from both, Rahimov pushing forward and landing crisper but not hurting Kim and getting tagged in return. Hooks traded, now right hands. Both are tired, but they're loading up. Ignoring the pain of what they're taking, and dishing out more of the same. Good little slugfest brewing here. Then it sort of fizzles. Rahimov pushes Kim into the ropes and gets slapped with a few light rabbit punches. They stay clasped together without Nady's intervention for most of the last half minute. Finally they start trading again. Bell.

    10-9 Rahimov

    98-92 Rahimov

    Rahimov took the tenth with the cleaner shots IMO.

    96-94 Rahimov.

    99 - 91 Alisher

    Kim worked hard last round, but so did Alisher who was clearly gassing, but he dug deep and outworked Kim with the cleaner shots that last round to close the show. Wide Alisher win on my card.

    96-94 Rahimov. Draw would be reasonable, but I had him edging the last round.

    Nah, I was just responding to you saying, "did anyone" call it that, though. . . which implies singular use. . .


    Not the OP whom you were responding to referring to "people". . .

    Fight could go either way. A draw like last week would be quality too.

    I missed the first 2.5 rounds or so. . But that sounds about reasonable. . . Maybe 97-93 Rahimov. . . But then again, I can't really call it cause I missed first 2.5 rounds. . Rounds 3-10 it looked like Rahi was getting outworked, but landed just barely enough to nick all but 1, or 2 of those rounds.

    Can't quite see stretching it to a draw, myself. :conf

    There were a lot of "those type" of round, though. (divisive where scoring is concerned, depending on what you look for)

    The punch stats reflected that.
