    Both fighters were using the same rough house methods so the referee backed off and let the fight happen.
    It was ugly and bloody with both fighters taking too many punches, but I'd take this fight over a Ward vs Dawson or Wlad vs Thompson any day of the week.
    I enjoyed this little war from the top of my head right down to the tips of my toes. Reminded me of a Gatti fight at times. I would bet that most of the fans enjoyed it too.
    An eyesore? Maybe, but I enjoyed the fuck out of it.

    Good stuff! This is another case where I think the '10 point must' is faulty. It leads to manuvering numbers. Maybe I'm missing something. Keep it literal..both start at 10 and you deduct accordingly. Judges just need to decide a round, not play mathematical charades.

    I had Dib in rounds 1,2,3,9 and Gradovich in 4,5,6,7,10,11,12...8th at 9-8 Gradovich. 115-111

    It was a nice fight. People have to remember we're talking about a still raw in your face Gradovich who has been no where near a high level match combined with what has to be one of the ugliest styles brought by Dib. Awkward, scatter legged head butting Dib so you get some mauling, blood and chaos. Massive contrast in styles. I don't want them pretty, I just want them exciting and thats what we got to see.

    It was a lot more like an Andre Ward fight than a Gatti Ward fight thats for sure.

    Neither man could hurt the other until Dib was exhausted and got rocked some down the stretch.

    It wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible.
