Dave Allen v Arslanbek Makhmudov

[Master]

At last Allen dominated the 5th round.

[Master]

Makhmudov wins the 6th round but he is holding and ref needs to deduct points.

[Spicoli]

Mak warmed again for holding. Looks like he’s unraveling a bit. Nice Allen 6th but Mak landing a couple touch combos to edge it. 4-2 Mak

[Spicoli]

Better 7th Mak in a round Allen inexplicably became a spectator walking onto his punches. Ohh ref takes it all back, docks a point from Mak for holding? Basically a 10-10 round

[Master]

Ref deducted a point in the 7th against Makhmudov so even round as he was winning it.

[Spicoli]

5-2-1 Makhmudov after 8. Allen needs to light a fire under his arse, needs something huge.

[Spicoli]

Telling you, Mak has confidence issues. Looking to ref looking to corner etc

[Spicoli]

Massive 9th for Allen. Had Mak tethering along the ropes late off hard hooks. 5-3-1 Makhmudov

[Master]

Allen needs the stoppage to win and nearly did it in round 9.

[Spicoli]

Gave Allen 10th. Mak watching the clock not punching thru the target anymore. 5-4-1 Mak. Now or never David

[Spicoli]

6-4-1 Makhmudov into the 12th.

[Master]

Makhmudov wins 11 th and should win the fight. Allen needs the knockout.

[Spicoli]

Active and accurate 12th by Mak early. Allen cracks him 1-2 oh and ref takes another point! Late rally Allen and literally leaves his feet missing another left hook. This scoring may be funny. Another 10-10 as Mak edged round minus a point. 6-4-2 Mak at the end

[Master]

Makhmudov wins UD.

Allen did not do enough to win. Makhmudov boxed well and paced the fight better.

[Spicoli]

Def right winner but didn’t see 117-109 with two points lost. Decent scrap. So now Makhmudov v AJ eh? Great sportsmanship by both Mak and Allen in post fight here.
