I had a problem with it.
The guy ran, stole some rounds (4 on my card) and landed some good pitter pat shots. Showed great heart.
But he did not win. He did not take Provodnikov's title.
He was dropped twice, repeatedly hit with clean, harder punches and forced to retreat, bouncing off all 4 corners for most of the fight.
Provodnikov won on my card. No doubt. And I'm not a big fan of the economical plodder.
