Apparently, you didn't look at the scorecards or can't do arithmetic. The knockdown would have given Lukas a 10-8 instead of 10-9 resulting in cards of 96-93 Lukas, 95-94 Nyambayar, and 95-94 Lukas. A split decision win for Lukas.
I thought it was 96-94 twice for Nyambayar. My math is good, it's a reading problem.
I did too. I thought he did enough to win regardless if the KD was called as such. I had higher hopes for Tug but he always fights the same way and the same pace. Doesn't throw enough punches and makes no adjustments based on what his opponent brings. Lukas was plucky but I didn't think he really did much other than survive and give it a go.
Simple solution, like they already have in Nevada (and look how crooked that place is): REPLAY. Only for knockdowns (that should or shouldn't have been called), cuts (from head butt or punch), and maybe point deductions (if obviously incorrect). Lukas should have been given the W.

I thought the Namibian came to win and picked up his fair share of rounds. If Tug had more of a killer instinct or maybe more creative offense Lukas would have been stopped early.
Hows it acceptable for American commentators to call him 'the African guy'? I mean, he has a name, Lukas Sakira. It would've been bad if they'd called him 'the Namibian guy' but at least that would've said the people that he came from. African? What, Berber, Tutsi, Boer, Yoruba? What is that even supposed to say?
