I saw round 1 for Stephen, Round 2,3 and 4 for Kevin and round 5 was super close but even if you give it to Stephen to me Kevin should've won anyway. Awesome fight.
Based on what scoring system? Maybe in a kickboxing scoring system, but based on Muay Thai scoring he didn’t throw anywhere near as many kicks and was throwing majority of punches, which is low scoring, he pushed the pace and did more damage but I don’t think it was enough, you can’t punch your way to a win in Muay Thai unless you knock them out, that’s just how it is, none the less, Kevin was a really entertaining fighter
Kicks should have impact and some damage to score.... often not the case here. The damage on Stephen's right eye was not an elbow? The reddidh thighs and liver area show the impact of kicks don't they? Pace, punches, kicks elbows, periods when Stephen was hardly able to defend himself, .... Kevin won the fight by any metrics. Stephen showed great courage and did not buck in the punishment
Great fight both men should hold their head high, Thai’s don’t count getting your arm in front of your body as a block on kicks so most of Stephens kicks were scoring. Kevin’s hands were great and it made for a interesting style match up, great fight.
Round 1,2,4 and 5 for Stephen, kevin got round 3 and round 5 was pretty close. Stephen threw lots of kicks and knees, high scoring. Kevin always had the middle of the ring though and was the one who put pressure. Pretty close fight, but Stephen was more technical and won
If anything Kevin may have took round 3. Stephen was constantly scoring with lovely knees and kicks. It seems that your all just making noise because your mate got beat so stfu eh
With respect Ramon, there is no way that the one shot Kevin rocked Stephen with could have won that round Stephen hit Kevin with maybe 30 scoring techniques that round (all unanswered) then Kevin responds with one clean shot, which rocks Stevie (no 8 count) the rest of the punches are on his gloves, and finally Stephen finished the round with a sweep. One small hiccup in a massive round for Stephen. Kevin is a great athlete, great fighter. But on this occasion this was the correct decision.
