Otabek Kholmatov vs Raymond Ford - ESPN+ - Fight By Fight Thread

[MeanestNiceGuy]

Worst stoppage of the year!!!

You hurt?!

[Rope_Burns]

Great fight, but ref should have let the Russian taste the canvas beat the count at least. Only 8 seconds left.

[MeanestNiceGuy]

Interesting stoppage. I can't vehemently argue it but perhaps a standing 8 count may have been a better call. Tough for a ref to make a decision in the split second especially with a wounded fighter stumbling and turning his back.

He turned his back! Why are you trying to act like that never happened?

[Malvado]

Man take your ass to bed! Kholmatov was still stumbling after the stoppage. You’re a fool with for this post!

Let it go!

Otabek was obviously hurt, just stating the obvious that if he got the count it could possibly gone the distance if he played it safe after the count.

Nonetheless this was a fantastic fight.

[MulaKO]

Yeah that KO SURE came. continue to let the adults discuss boxing lil man.

Hey Napoleon, talk to me when you become a man not cause your butthurt
You dipchit pos

Hope Kholmatov continues to get big fights at 126 and maybe another shot at the belt if Ford vacates. Definitely interested in seeing Ford at 130, he showed a lot of grit and toughness tonight to come through that fight. Him vs Roach for that 130 lb title would be a very good fight

[MeanestNiceGuy]

Rolled his ankle.

The excuses! Let em roll in.

[edpboxing]

Rolled his ankle.

Hearn didn't know if he was gonna make it because of the Saudi card. Well, it's good he made the trip! lol

I picked Ford because Chris Mannix picked Kholmatov.
