OLA was the winner. Another bad decision from the judges influenced by the fact that the fight took place in germany
First five rounds – Ola… round six, draw or Huck, hard call… seven, eight, and nine – Huck… round ten – Ola… round eleven, close but I lean towards Huck for cleaner, harder connects… round twelve, Huck. Great fight. Don’t think a draw was out of the question, although in terms of rounds won I can see a good argument for Ola. Regardless, rubber match, make it happen.
