did say the 10/1 was big didnt i? :OhYes:

Nice going pal. I had Foster to win the fight by any method at 4.2 on Betfair. I predicted points on my tips site but it was only 5.5. on betfair so didn't bother. But hey when you look at this thread most people couldn't even see past Kirakosyan so at least I picked the winner!

Hats off to you Cobra, i really thought Foster would walk onto something and it was starting to look that way until he found that peach of a shot and bagged the belt.

Fair play to him !

knew foster would give him a fight.

didn't know foster was going to almost take his head off, though!

props to kirasosyan, had a good little career, some impressive looking stoppages of johanesson & lawton. those fights did flatter him, and if you look at the exciting loss to gomez (or the convincing defeat to gulyakevic) some of LK's limitations can be seen.

I wondered if he was a Kiko Martinez-style KO artist with the looping bombs.

Seems he was vulnerable in the end.
