it's because Provo's head didn't move at all, even when taking some brutal shots. a lot of those were ignored, and especially the jabs he was peppered with all night. i don't think a few flashy shots at the end of the round was enough to take it to 114-114.
If you don't think Lucas won at least eight rounds, then you should take up badminton, because you don't know how to score fights.
116-112 for me. I gave Provodnikov the last two the fourth and another round can't remember which one but it was a close one.
I had it 116-112. Lucas just got his game plan right and stuck to it. I could not see it any closer than my card.
I only gave him 1 of the 3rd or 4th, and rounds 11 and 12 for sure. Can't remember what other 2 rounds I gave him but I have it saved in an app.
Provodnikov vs. Brandon Rios. Very fan friendly fight. I knew that LM would outbox him with moments of explosions, but with Rios that would be some serious non-stop action.
sadly i worked til 4.30 am so only caught the fight up from round 10 onwards but Ruslan did come back towards the end, much respect to the guy
If fights were scored by 36 minutes, Matthysse more or less dominated. But fights are not scored that way. And Provodnikov did well to win rounds late on. The 115-113 scores were on point. Harold Lederman botched the 9th round but otherwise I agree with his card.
