rd3-good rd for zav..hes landing rd house lefts and rts...jackie gets warned twice for using his head...BS warnings IMHO...zav has a nice moment at the end...clear rd for zav
John Simpson is a rough customer
he is being outslicked, but he is using every trick in the book to wrestle and scrape Smith
and the crowd is very much behind Simpson's rough tactics
close round 4
Simpson was winning round 5
but Smith hurt him badly with a body shot at the end of the round
the bookies have it even at the LIVE betting window
tv announcers have smith up 1
rd6- close close rd...ill give it to jackie...he pressed most of the rd and landed a nice shot b4 the bell..i have it 5-1...in slovenia i have to think the close rds are going to zav...
rd7-- close but i think zav does the better work...if i didnt have dough on this id probably not even bother to watch...top dogs would bludgeon these guys...
rd8- closeeeeeee rd...ill give it to jackie but could go either way...zav looking a bit tired rt now...he may need to dig the last 4 rd...i have it 6-2 zav...jackie with a shot after the bell...ref missed it
entering rnd 10
real problem for smith backers is simpson has momentum and simpson knows every trick in the book
he raises his arms at the end of rounds
acting the winner
judges see this stuff
rd9-another close one but i think zav earned it...he's really doing the better work though they are fighting pretty even rds...zav just slightly better IMO...7-2 zav
Simpson took rnd 12 and I'm afraid he snaked the fight in the last 2 rounds
crowd cheering loudly for the scot as bell rings
messy fight
going to cards
rd12-zav rakes jackie for much of the rd...prob out threw him 3 to 1 and clearly takes the rd...9-2-1 Im pissed i made the hedge but i had a fcking bundle on it....zav didnt fight like he was wt drained at all...still a good win as long as the judges get it correct...dec coming up..
