Having had a week to consider his controversial decision loss to Kazakhstan's Bakhtiyar Eyubov (11-0, 10 KOs), San Francisco welterweight Karim Mayfield says he's not happy. [Click Here To Read More]
Kareem clearly beat Eyubov who was a poorly disguised Ape with gloves. 9 out of 10 close fights always go to the unbeaten fighter who walks away having been defeated - and with an undeserved 1 in their win column and an undeserved zero in their loss column.
The fight wasn't boring It was a pretty good scrap but Mayfield was clearly faster, landing more, solid head snapping shots even, getting off his punches first and scoring consistently. Was not a close fight, he got totally robbed. The only ugly in the fight was Eyubov caveman style and "skill". I think being that Mayfield already took some losses and that he was fighting an undefeated fighter that boxing politics wasn't in Mayfield's favor. He wasn't suppose to win. This is what sucks about the sport.
