Ali did better

10-9 Ali
58-56 Vishkan

 

Funeka is looking dominant with the jab. He's using the distance wisely and seems calm in there, he's better technically that's clear. A bit of belief goes a long way in boxing.

 

Funeka's left right flurries and jab are controlling everything in this round now.
The half man is doing something back but has tto fight on the backfoot trying to counter.

Funeka round
10-9 Ali
67-66 Viskhan

 

Ali is going to decision this.

Vishkan is only fighting 20 seconds of the round. The 7th is another one for Ali

 

Viskan throws a few looping hooks and reaches in, but never anything that's hard enough to trouble Funeka. He looks gassed, each punch looks like a massive effort, Funeka seems controlled and the fitter man.

 

That was Vishkans first decent round since the 2nd. I think he nicked the 8th...

 

Ja, jab... jab jab...
hard bodyshot from the dwarf, but Funeka controls the distance again.
left, right from Ali, but now the tiny guy comes back after a bolo fakeout.
The end just grants him the round imo

10-9 Viskhan
77-75 Viskhan

 

Murzabekov is active in this round.

 

Fell a little behind because of some chores, but this might be the most intense atmosphere and beginning ceremonies I've ever seen in a big time boxing show.

The Chechens are some manly mfers

 

Ali suddenly looks completely gassed out.

The 9th round for Vishkan

 

Funeka doing what he does best while there's another launch from the old looking kid.
Ali back in control fast, while the little boy launches in and launches in.

10-10 even
87-85 Viskhan

 

Funeka is hangin in there, close rounds.

 

This fight swings from one direction to another.

Ali has a great round. He wins the 10th.
He clearly just had a round off in the 9th.

 

Ali probably knows he's behind and started battering the midget on the ropes.
Completely in control while the smaller man desperately fights back
