Reigning WBA flyweight champion Artem Dalakian (22-0, 15 KOs), making his sixth defense, scored a controversial twelve round unanimous decision over David “Medallita” Jimenez (12-1, 9 KOs) on Saturday night in London’s OVO Arena. Jimenez pressed the action while the 35-year-old Dalakian fought mostly on the backfoot and was troubled by Jimenez’ aggression. Scores were 115-113, 115-113, 116-112 for Dalakian. Jimenez was attempting to become the first male boxing champion ever from the country of Costa Rica.
That was a robbery
Hey, Little Timmy Bradley. Can you PLEASE STFU. ESPN needs to can this rambling, bigmouth. Duming down the broadcast once again..
I am not sure your reporter was actually at this particular fight. Jimenez was pressing hard but Dalakuan scored the cleaner punches. Nothing controversial about it at all!
I know the ESPN people thought that the result was a robbery, that being Andre Ward and Tim Bradley mainly. Though Ward certainly may have won one of his matches by robbery in the first fight with Kovalev. Another very well respected fight sight did not think so. It was a close fight though. The 8-4 score was way off.
Good thing no one cares
