Start calling him Don Smokes-Crack-erman. 117-109 Gradovich here. I gave Dib the first two, and scored the double penalty 9-8 Gradovich.
I usually score almost all fights I watch, but didn't feel like doing this one. But as I watched, it sure looked to me like Gradovich was running away with it. The close scores - let alone the one for Dib - seemed, uh....surprising to me. And I had picked Dib to win!
I watched the first few rounds, scored them for Dib, and turned the channel, haha ... didn't know he lost.
i only gave dib 3 rounds....sucks that the fix was in, but thank god to that russians heart cause many would've just cruised assuming they had it in the bag......i love fights like that.....he definately made a fan out of me last night...
I give it to the Russian pretty convingly. I mean you knew he had to wow to win but he wont almost every round with a pretty much comfortable distance.
Horrible scoring - I watched the last half of the fight where Gradovich was dominant. Almost a total robbery. This kind of biased scoring makes boxing look more like pro wrestling :-(
I actually was actually part of the press for this fight. It was very difficult to score considering they were tied up for about half the fight and from what I saw Dib won the first 4 rounds pretty handily.
Here is my take on all the fights: http://nyfanhub.com/2013/03/espn-friday-night-fights-3113-recap/ (I'm new to this whole reporting thing so please don't be too harsh with your criticisms.)
