True. Brudov has never fought anyone in the top 20. If he had more experience, he would have done a whole lot better.
I get the impression that this was similar to Gatti vs. Branco. A rugged ex champion vs. an undefeated, but untested fighter for a vacant belt.
I mean paper because it looks like Brudov was untested. I'll get to it when I see the fight.

Paper belt or not, it's an achievement considering the fact that he won that same belt in 1987. Almost 20 years ago.
Who said it was a paper belt? That's a real belt for sure!
Good thing for him. Definitely the oldest champion out there and must be one of the oldest beltholders ever.
Plus genuinely a nice person and a gracious sporstman...
Oh, wait, how the heck do I know?
Round 12 for Brudov. The rest for Hill who was running and
jabbing and making Brudov look like a fool.
Hill was woobled quite well by one of Brudov's punches.
I have it 8:4 or 7:5 for Hill, though Brudov landed more power punches throughout.
Judges have it 118:110, so they scored it 10:2 for Hill, which seems off to me.
Hill is the new WBA champion. This is a great achievement for the 42 year fighter.
Congratulations to Virgil!
Just looked up his record, looks like a bum, the best opponents of his were 5-0 and 12-7.
I think Hill is like 40 years old or more, so looks like a bum that's there to make Hill look like a Cinderella story. Still, I am rooting for Hill because he was a very good boxer in his time.
Is Brudov legit or some bum that was put in there, so that Hill reclaims past glory?
