Who won? I like K9!
K-9 won on a split decision. Crowd was booing like crazy.
Why the booing? A dodgy decision or was it just a bad fight?Quote:

K-9 tried to keep distance and keep the fight on the outside.
He was hurt a number of times!
Swollen under both eyes and cut on his right eyebrow.
It was score 94-96,96-94
then the clincher for K-9
97-93
I only saw the first 3 rounds and it looked like K-9 won those easy...Quote:

It was an early foty candidate and it could have gone either way. I want to see a rematch :)
I dont know about a FOY canidate but it wasnt bad. I thought Bundrage won. Smith had him hurt twice though. Another minute in the 12 th and Bundrage woulda been Ko'd
It was a definite win for K9, Smith hurt him with his power and clearly won on the inside, so K9 opted to keep his distance in the latter half of the fight.
I think the crowd booed because they didn't like K9's evasive tactics but to be fair if he hadn't hadve fought that way and would have attempted to fight a more crowd pleasing fight he would have got knocked out plain and simple.
I thought he did ok.
He got booed because it was a Walter Wright crowd. He got booed entering the ring too. K9 won the fight. It wasn't an exciting fight. Bundrage only threw 2 punches at a time, and stayed away from Smith for most of the fight. They did trade a few times, and Bundrage was just about out of it at the end but it wasn't a terribly exciting fight. I would say the Wright fight was the most exciting.
I think he needs to tone down his muslce structure, he has too much of it especially his arms... If he can tone them down he can pick up some speed.
His defense needs some serious work cause fighting going backwards isn't always gonna work out he'll run into someone who will catch him as hes stepping back.
I think his defense needs working on too, the sticking his arms out and letting punches go around it will only work on shorter opponents but he doesnt want to end up like Rahman so his defense needs work,
