Marco Huck vs. Firat Arslan - chat thread

[JimmyJones]

Good fight. Huck by a few I think. Close though.

[Mars_ax]

Huck was more effective, i've got him winning 7-5 in rounds.

[Mars_ax]

Officially Huck wins a UD by 115-113 x2 and 117-111.

I thought 115-113 for Huck sounded about right, close fight though, Arslan wasn't connecting enough to take Huck's title.

I thought Arslan was unlucky I thought it was a good fight, could have gone either way.

These fights are on right now:

Up next, Renan St-Juste vs. Allan Green, 10 rounds, light heavyweights, yes that Allen Green..

It was a good fight, I had Huck winning buy 2 rounds not much in it, but if they gave it to Arslan you
could not comp-lane. Huck did show some nice body punching, Arslan could not miss him with the left hand upper cut, over all a good fight to watch.

I scored Huck-Arslan 114-114 a draw.

The 117-111 judges scorecard was ridiculous.

117-111 is totally ridiculous, I did think Huck won a close fight, 115-113 works for me. Arslan was the aggressor most of the fight, but he wasn't always effective with it. You've got to 'take' the title from the champion, and aggression aside Arslan didn't do quite enough to accomplish that.

Just shows you what a challenger has to do to win there. They have to win about 10 rounds to get a decision.
