Hill had the look of a beaten man.

To be honest I only really paid attention after Hill got cut in round 8 I believe. From then on Maske clearly won the fight.

Also what the F*** was the ref doing? He called the cut an accidental clash of heads and then docked a point from Maske

Even worse the replay showed that if anyone was to blame it was Hill himself he came from a crouching position and rose up onto Maske's forehead, no way was it Maske's fault?

Can anyone find the clip?
The german commentator quoted some obscure rule that when an accidental clash of heads happens
and then one of the boxers get a cut and therefore is handicapped the other boxer gets a point
deducted to even the odds...

Never heard of that one though...

And btw...yeah Maske won the fight,if Hill would have pressured more in the first three rnds he might
have knocked Maske out,but he did way too little...
Wow I've never heard that rule before and I've seen loads of fighters get accidently cut!
