Bivol vs. Smith Jr

[palmerq]

Kuzmin gets an MD win over tank daweljko.... daweljko is very angry about this.

Fair decision.

Neither was impressive. But Kuzmin landed the more effective punches, as we could see by Dawejko's marked-up face.

I didn't think it was close enough to be a draw. I wasn't keeping score though, kuzmin did ease off quite a lot in the mid rounds though, didn't handle injuring his thumb too well I think. He ended well though.

Kuzmin is mildly impressive in patches, bit too slow and not powerful enough to be a real world champ though I think, I suspect he's too old to make any major changes.
