Last night Khytrov put in a rather dissapointing performance, only waking up at the 2nd half ot the fight, but managed to get the stoppage in the final round. Turns out now, that one of the judges had Brinson up 70-62 ( So there must have even been one 10-8 round in there). Can anyone see that from this fight, especially when you look at round 6 and 7? I had it even at 66-66 going into the final round by the way, like one of the 3 judges. [YT]NoJY-GULfYk[/YT]
Bad judging, iv seen dead even fights where judges had it a shut out even thoigh one guy was winning his rounds clearly and the other guy was s****ping his and they had it a shut out for the guy s****ping tounds
According to Khytrov he had some sort of stomach ailment he'd been battling yesterday, so that would explain why he seemed out of sorts and took awhile to get going, because that wasn't the real him last night. He seemed completely off his game and it wasn't because Brinson was just too good for him early.
That 70-62 Brinson card was easily the worst I've seen all year, and that's saying something. Good thing for Khytrov he scored the come from behind knockout. Even with a 10-8 round in the 8th, he'd have lost a SD if Brinson could've survived. A 10-7 would've gotten him a draw. The judges did him zero favors last night. That said, he's got work to do to up his game to the next level.
He lost 7 rounds on one judge's card? lol He won one of them by a landslide and yet still they scored it for Brinson? atsch
Farhood suggested that Tony Perez, the judge who had it 70-62 for Brinson, thought Brinson was Khytrov the whole fight lol .... Hence him scoring the round that could have easily been 10-8 for Khytrov, 10-8 for Brinson instead.
Khytrov won that fight (as in discounting the stoppage at the end), Brinson took the first 3 rounds pretty clearly. Then the rest of the rounds go to Khytrov with 2 10-8s...
It's a good thing Khytrov stopped him in the end, this would have went the wrong way, with Khytrov taking an unecessary loss and most likely a hit to his confidence levels as a young fighter as well.
Tony Perez was a great ballplayer for the Cincinnati Reds but he needs to stay away from a boxing ring.
