I think it was an absolute disgrace that Butcher one his fight, a complete rig if I've ever seen one!!!! And I'll let all the people on this board know it wasn't just a couple of people who agree with me, it was more like only the people from Butchers camp agreed with the decision. 80% of the crowd gave the Russian a standing ovation as he left the ring, and the booing did not stop until the next firght started, it was that OBVIOUS!
The rest of the fights were awesome however.
A shame to see the Preacher lose, but to me it was seeming like a win in the Thais favour from the time Bruce got cut about 1 minute into the first round. Bruce is just so good with his elbows, but he was obviously keeping a good distance from the Thai for fear of getting caught with another one, so he didn't get a chance to land many himself. I would have given the 3rd and 5th rounds to the Bruce, but Mongkorn the rest. Bruce just couldn't seem to hurt him, and although Mongkorn wasn't massively active, his evasive and defense skills were very good, so I think Bruce was maybe finding it a little hard landing stuff, especially with his tentative behaviour. I think it would have been an incredible war had he not got the cut so early on.
Good work to both of them and good luck Bruce if you give it another go against Mongkorn.
