If it is close it is not a robbery.

Round 6 ... Russian ring card girls are hot.

Makabu consistently connecting to the body. Papin again lands a nice shot at the bell.

Round 7 : Makabu lands a viscous 3 punch combo. Papin is showing signs of being broken down. Makabu only moves forward, very rarely backs up.

Right... I mean, i dont even remind myself any too wide decision in Russia. I think that if Makabu will deserve it more he will get the decision.

Rd 8 =

10-8 Makabu KD

77-74 Makabu

It was a KD, however the ref called it a slip. Both fighters are exhausted .... but still landing power shots. It's a battle of wills.

Rd 9 =

10-9 Papin very close

86-85 Makable not a KD In 8

Śhit cant stand that i couldnt watch that fight

10-9 Makabu

106-103 Makabu

Round 11 : I agree, Papan was on SHAKY legs the at the end of the round after getting hit by a hard uppercut and straight right hand.

Rd 12 =

10-8 Makabu

116-111

Excellent fight. It will be a robbery if Makabu does not get this.

Papin down with 45 seconds left! Papin ends the fight with explosiveness hurting Makabu at the bell.

GREAT FIGHT! I had ,Makabu winning by 3 points .... it's going to the scorecards.

In the 11th Papin was down if he doesn’t hold himself up with the ropes.
