Round 3: 10-9 Parpiev
Round 4: 10-9 Bornea; another close one. Parpiev was landing more, like usual, but Bornea's body shots seemed to bother him in the latter half of the round to edge it to the Filipino.

Jake might be on the receiving end so far, but he's here to fight.

(Rocky IV reference seeing how we're in Russia today )

Round 3: 10-9 Parpiev
Round 4: 10-9 Bornea
Round 5: 10-9 Bornea; Parpiev dominated the first half of the round, outworking Bornea but Bornea stole it with work to the body late. A right hand upstairs from Bornea appeared to have knocked down Parpiev, with the Russian's glove touching the canvas, but it was ruled a slip by the ref.

48-47 Parpiev

 

Parpiev doesn't make a fist, it looks like he barely closes his hand to throw a punch.

 

This is a good fight, get the **** out of the way referee!

I hate the ref, lollygagging around the ring, lollygagging to get out of the way when he breaks the fighters. Just strolling around the ring and doesn't seem to care if he's in the way.
