Alex Dilmaghani vs. Samir Ziani - 5 September 2020

[skanksta]

Ziani wins the 3rd just to even it up ?

He put in a little spurt at the end that nicks R3

29-29

[THEBUTCH]

Cracking fight. Alex doing well, but the Frenchman looks relentless.

[Neil Gee]

Bloody hell this is murder to score, give 3rd to Dilmaghani, looks more skillful when he's in flow, but very close.

[Neil Gee]

4th Ziani another all action round spent toe to toe

[skanksta]

I say AD nicks the 4th on bodyshots. His corner seems happy, but so does Ziani.

Both are doing what they want.

39-38 AD

[margaret thatcher]

Lol how many elbows is the ref gonna let these guys throw, it's like a f@cking muay thai match

I'm enjoying it though

[skanksta]

Floyd woulda sucker-punched TF out of Ziani there !

Far too sportsmanlike from the Englishman !

AD 49-48 - gotta win a round if you knock out a gumshield

I've been thinking that too. Ref seems oblivious to it.

[Neil Gee]

Dilmaghani edges the fifth to even it up again but thought it was a lot closer than the commentary had it.

[skanksta]

58-58

Ziani cuts Dilma

[THEBUTCH]

Hope the judges are counting Dilmaghani's body shots, because they are scoring frequently.

The Frenchman's accuracy not great.

[Neil Gee]

What a fight, still toe to toe, Ziani edges sixth.

[THEBUTCH]

This is some pace they are going at

[Glass Joe]

big round for ziani, i have it 4-3 to the champion

[skanksta]

relentless from the Frenchman and that's the first clear round.

68-67 SZ

Good cornerwork from Jon Pegg.

[Neil Gee]

Ziani on Dilmaghani from opening bell, put a lot into that round, cut must have inspired him even though it's below the eye.

[THEBUTCH]

Dilmaghani is a very fit lad to keep this pace up.

[skanksta]

What you like again ?

Ziani lands more and more accurately, AD's blows are harder.
78-78

edit should be 77-77

[Neil Gee]

I've given Z the last 3 rounds, he's just more relentless, not looking for a break, non-stop.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fights like these need a crowd.

[THEBUTCH]

Fight of the year contender !

Excellent 9th from Alex.

[skanksta]

Dilma made a sort-of breakthrough there...

87-86 AD

[Neil Gee]

Dilmaghani's best round since the fifth, he really fancied it in the ninth and Ziani definitely doing less that round.

[THEBUTCH]

Too much pressure from Ziani in the tenth.

[skanksta]

96-96 anyone's fight.

Ziani won the 10th on workrate.

I love both these guys and this fight, but neither is troubling the champs @ world level.
