McGrail won that. Awful refereeing.

Neither have the power for world levle. Even excluding inoue. But good chance a lot of 122 belts go vacant in a year ish.

Wide UD for Masoud and didn't even need the pt deduction.
Kinda stinks. :shame:

It’s what you liked I guess..

Personally I don’t think crisp counters should score as well as they do if they don’t have any power…

I don’t like how much he gave away late, didn’t make sense to me.

I can only see a one point victory for Masoud.

McGrail won 6 rounds clearly for me & then there was a swing round.

I think it’s farcical that you can score Masoud 116.

Thought McGrail nicked it 114-113 but no complaints about the decision, surprised it was unanimous mind, cracking fight all the same, 2 high level technicians, McGrail started off quick, really putting it on Masoud and unsettling him but Masoud grew into things, was picking McGrail off with some nice shots and was landing some clean left hands, hurt McGrail in the 9th I think it was, thought the point off in the 10th for McGrail looked harsh but he had been pulled up already, McGrail finished well with though, upped the tempo, still close , Masoud coasted and I thought McGrail edged it but not a robbery by any means

Pretty much.

Masoud just nicked it, imo.

x2.
Masoud is pretty good and it was close - I don't mind him nicking that on the dodgy point deduction, but..
Wide UD makes it seem like they scored it before watching.

It was a what you like type fight, wouldn't have argued either way, good well matched fight for the purist.

McGrail won the first four, the last two and one in between.

Missed everything tonight, I was in the pub, so McCrail and McCormick aren't as good as they are touted to be, not likely to win world titles.
I guess, especially as they aren't ticket sellers, that fast car won't continue to invest in them.
Their best chance now will be to win something as an away fighter

I agree. I thought either Masoud or McGrail might have nicked it by a point, or a draw would have been fair. And there was no need for the referee to deduct that point from McGrail.

I didn't score it but felt like Masoud was the winner. He was the lad I'd rather have been in the fight. McGrail just lacks something. He's got good movement but his timing and accuracy are off. He was in against a tricky operator here who was fighting negatively though. But most top guys in this division are skilled enough to fight that fight.

gregregegg wrote: 06 Dec 2025, 15:59 Interesting he didn’t get a 20 second count for falling out of the ring.

But also he should of lost a point for spitting the mouthguard, then lose a point for the knockdown, then if you give a 20 count you gotta get in on your own so probably lose a point for the cornerman helping him up… so that’s potentialy a 10-6 round….

Also he didn’t look right to continue at 10, and don’t think he would of at 20.
I think the 20 second count is for when someone is completely out of the ring apron into the floor of the building. McCormack still had his legs over the ropes so for me that's a 10 second count, agree with you it was game over whatever the count.

Makes you wonder if the ropes were tight enough.

Also, the way he had them under his knees made it almost impossible for him to get up. I was hoping Davison would shove him back in or untangle his legs, but his trainer was possibly worried about getting mccormack disqualified.

Same here, didn’t score it but Masoud seemed like the right winner for me by the end.

Cracking little card overall.

He totally lacks power too and something the top boys will walk through.

I thought McGrail won that. Masoud looked comfortable but stuck in 3rd gear with little power. I thought McGrail ourworked him.

McGrail won on my card. Close, yes, but he won, imo.

Masoud fought the last two rounds like someone who knew he was getting the decision.

Probably felt he coasted them middle rounds.. but even then, tight fight as it is... cant afford to drop rounds like that..

could have been a more comfortable win.
