Notes

• Miura and Roman both absorbed an unreal amount of punishment in this fight, and in the middle rounds it even looked as though Miura, his face swollen and bloodied, was slightly fading from the fight.
• Miura scored a body shot knockdown late in the tenth round, and the fact that Roman got up at all has to be commended. This was a knockout-type blow, and somehow Roman got to his feet and fought on, and did so quite bravely.
• Roman was down again in the eleventh, putting the fight out of reach, most likely, on the scorecards. The knockout came at 0:53 of round twelve.
