I thought it was close due to the first half of the fight, but Blackburn pulled it off I thought. Like most Angott fights, tough to score....and read....

[Ezzard]

Blackburn very unlucky there. We take the rough with the smooth and hope to face the fine gentleman Mister Samuel Angott in the near future.
