Ugas body shots...

[punchoutsb]

...have any of them been above the belt? I've never seen so many low blows through the first three rounds of a fight. The ref keeps signaling to keep them up but hasn't actually done anything. They're not direct nut shots, more like the hip but still, if I were in Gvahdgmahsahva's corner I would be complaining so hard.

Finally a warning in the fifth round. I know this fight isn't "important", but at least get a ref in there that's going to do his job.

Second warning.

[punchoutsb]

A third warning...

[punchoutsb]

Finally a point taken in the 8th. It's actually a good fight, but the egregious fouling by Ugas is marring it. Glad to see the ref finally arrived.

Fun phone booth brawl. The Georgian took it in my book, but I highly doubt he'll get it on the cards.

Ugas is the clear winner in my opinion. I don't think it's particularly close. The Wolf was tough, but Ugas was more accurate and more polished throughout most of the fight. It definitely got closer toward the end though.

I got it 97-92 Ugas for the record

Really? I thought the Georgian pushed the action, dictated the course of the fight, landed the harder blows. Ugas was more polished and landed a lot of good hip and thigh punches

Ugas gets the Split Decision

The Wolf's shots definitely didn't look harder to me, but they were fighting on even terms by the fights end, I just thought all the action in the early going was controlled clear by Ugas. Levan figured him out and got more competitive as the fight wore on, but it wasn't enough to make up the deficit.

[punchoutsb]

The first four rounds were all Ugas, but that had a lot to do with landing about 40 low blows. As soon as he was warned...three times in one round...the fight changed. He got his head bounced around a lot. Either way, it was a pretty good scrap. Neither guy is close to the top at 147.

I thought Ugas definitely controlled most of the fight. I had it 96-93 with the point deduction for Ugas. Many of the early low blows were just borderline and I think the referee didn´t want to be decisive in the outcome too early in the fight. More than one point deduction would´ve been too much I guess.

A referee's job is to ensure the rules are followed. Ugas was going low without regard for four rounds. I didn't count but I'm pretty sure he landed at least ten below the belt over the first two rounds.

I don't think the low blows were nearly as egregious as you're making them out to be. They were all borderline shots.

and everyone in the chat on the13thround watching the fight had it wide for Ugas

FWIW it was enough for me to make a thread about for a fight I otherwise didn't care about. They weren't damaging shots, but they were low and a plenty.

I thought the point deduction he received addressed the problem well enough. If you believe he should've lost a 2nd point or been DQ'd I can't say I agree with you.

The point deduction did address the problem...but it should have came in the second or third round. He was allowed to foul for half the fight. As soon as the three warning were given then the fight closed up a lot.
