It’s also about aggression and damage. Smaili caused no danger nor damage. It was all blocked and on the guard. Noiri on the other hand had less shots but more aggressive and each shot caused damage. And then off course the 8 count.
Noiri was cool as a cucumber, but Smaili must've landed 100 shots more than him! There's no way Noiri could've won, round 1 and 2 were definitely on Smaili's side!
Wtf ?! Noiri has been a boxing bag for 3 rounds, smaili dominates the fight and bring the show, aggressive, pressure and fantastic combos for a boy of his age, how can noiiri won?
Alot of people haven't bothered to research the scoring before commenting. Knock down is an auto 10-8 round. At best, Smaili could have drawn Noiri with 10-9 in rounds 1 and 3. That said, the only convincing round Smaili won was 1. 3 could have been a drawn. He hit Noiri alot but no visible harm was done. On the other hand, Noiri hurt him at least twice visibly in round 3. Smaili was doing his best to avoid getting hit to the body and every blow that connected seemed to affect him. He got hurt with a knee at the end too
you dont understand kickboxing do you... A standing 8 count is Instantly a 10/8 round for noiri. that with the Final combo wobbling him in the last round gave him the win. at best for Younes the fight couldve been scored a Draw.
