Nice fight, very cool to see this on free TV. Would have been happier seeing it as a draw though.

Yes I think a draw would have been a better decision.
It is also a shame that they end fights after 12 rounds. In the old days
when great fights were on free TV they went 15. This fight might have
had a knockdown if it had went three more rounds.

Boxing fatalities from extended round fights were the reason that fights were capped at 12 rounds.
