    Are you trying to tell me Kholmatov wasn't really badly hurt there?

    Then count it as a ****ing knockdown where the ropes held him up. There was 7 seconds left in the round.

    Amazing fight that was ruined by the biased commentary and questionable stoppage. I had Kholmatov winning 9-2 and he was winning the 12th round prior to the stoppage. Ref should have at least called that a KD. Props to Ford for fighting his heart out though.

    Controversy aside this was a great fight that deserves a rematch. They need to run it back.

    Had Kholmatov up 7-4 but had no issue with the stoppage. Otabek boxed brilliantly for just about the whole fight, but he reacted badly when hurt, turned his back twice and gave the official no choice but to stop the contest in a fight he would have won had he simply taken a knee in the closing seconds.

    Tremendous fight. Would love to see it again.

    Can't believe people are defending this blatant corruption from these thieving scumbags. Actually I can. No way that ref would've stopped that with 7 seconds if the roles were reversed. No goddamn way. I've never liked that bald creep ref. you can see he's dodgy as hell just from his stupid visage

    I think Kholmatov would have won on points ... But honestly... He lost by his stupidity.... He can blame only himself! Facts!

    Does it still exist? Just separate the fighters. Kreigel praising the ref.

    Not bad enough that he couldn't have tied up and lasted another 7 seconds.
