Been on this fight today. In terms of stoppage this referee was the best! In the middle of 5th round after 2 KDs in 15 seconds (with 2nd being result of punch in the back of the head) referee let the fight continue even though there were multiple 10 seconds of total block by Thai boxer who received power shots waving under those with quick attempts to hit after those guard periods. Referee didn't stop and therefore fight lasted 8 fulfilling rounds instead of only 5.

Also in round 8 Thai boxer received right uppercut in jaw dropping down and then again soon enough but still managed to stay for about 30 seconds under a spurt of power punches before referee decided to wave it off.

Thanks to him this fight day wasn't ruined but I witnessed 8 rounds of masterpiece and enough brawlery as opposed to undercarts of prospects against jorneymans (including whopping 4-26-2) Serbia boxer and with 2 not so bad but not the best either fights.

This fight was an awesome war! Can’t believe more “boxing fans” aren’t talking about it.

Artem Dalakian has to push for unification hes already 30 in his prime. Tanaka, Rosales are just starting out in their early twenties. Great performance by Artem, respect to Thaiyen ; hes still young and has more to offer.
