I was expecting a split decision draw with the time it took for the cards to come in. Rakhimov was a very decent boxer. Not sure about the 116-111 scorecard, but I wouldn’t have quibbled if he’d have nicked the result. His work rate and success rate in the latter half was fantastic. Especially after the mid-fight round where Joe buggered up Rakhimov’s eye.
Great fight. Rakhimov deserves another go I reckon.
