Comments Thread For: Marco Huck Survives Denis Lebedev, Wins Split Call

[-EAGLE-]

Oh come on! Yes, Lebedev was very good and clearly won several rounds (after 4th). But did he dominate Huck? No! Lebedev threw lots of dangerous punches - so what? Huck escaped many of them. And Lebedev ended up with several cuts from Huck's punches, not vice versa.

It was a very close win for Huck, or maybe a draw. Lebedev did, in my opinion, enough for a good fight, but clearly not enough to grab the title. Close decision is an acceptable result. A draw would also be OK, but no win for Lebedev.

BTW1: it was an american judge who gave victory to Lebedev. American judges have the reputation here in Germany of scoring the movement, the action in the ring. Lebedev made a lot of action and moved well... But not the moves - the result is the only thing that counts.

BTW2: Huck said after the fight that his rib was broken in round 4. That's actually the most impressive and dangerous thing Lebedev did in ring tonight.

you should be ashamed of yourself

Lebedev outclassed that clown Huck who fought like a b1tch from the opening bell. Suck a **** Kraut.

I had it 116-115 Lebedev, with three rounds even.

The problem with the judges is that they don't call enough even rounds, giving them instead to whoever they want to win.

Huck's squared-up style with the Arthur Abraham high guard gave Lebedev a nice target to the body, at least until Cotton started calling low blows which didn't look low but right on the belt.

Because they arent really suppose to

I think like 90% dont even give even rounds

Some of those rounds were really too close to call, IMO, but if I had to call them I would have given them to Lebedev.

If even rounds aren't "supposed to be" given, they should change the rules and outlaw them. As long as they are part of the scoring system, they can and should be used.

Larry Merchant has talked about this before.

I scored the fight 116-112 for Lebedev, just like the american judge did... There is no way that Huck won this fight

Damn you soviets are bitter.

They have to pick a winner

They are trained to watch for fighters winning rounds and should do so

TBH having 3 even rounds is a bit ridiculous, and throws the scores way off

the title should be: sauerland steals i cleary victory from the oponent

Lebedev shouldn't have gassed and let Huck take the fight over. He's not that good bro.
