Hi,

well, generally the fight wasn't good for both fighters. I don't know what to say about the result because I'm not a judge. It's clear the result depended on how the fight was scored and, a lot of people already talked about it.
Anyhow, if we look at the fight without considering the result, here my feeling.
The French boxer looked aggressive and proud of his battle, but he's clearly not a top fighter for sure. Lack in his gard, unbalanced, uncoordinated, especially not able to change his way to fight when he noticed that it was may be not possible to win by KO. In fact, he showed one only thing: his plan was try to win for knockout in "anger" way until the end. This suggests any technical or tactical skills, but a lot of heart to put in the ring. However, that depends also on what your trainer is telling to you to do. Fair enough, this is the game. Everyone is free to decide how to fight or how to suggest to fight.
The English guy doesn't start the fight like a world champion would do and, also for him a lot of lack especially in relation to elbows and balance. However, his style was more "muay thai" but it doesn't mean it was better than the French guy. In final rounds he seems to fight thinking about scoring, differently from the opponent. That was may be clever considering the fight would have finished by points. I'm not sure the blows of the English guy were really effective but watching a video isn't the right way to establish blow effectiveness. We just can't do it, it's different from the live view.
Unfortunately, despite both fighters deserve honor and respect..this fight was more close to a class B fight than a professional one. At light of the fact it was a professional world championship fight, to be honest I don't know if one or the other really deserve a clear win...
