Usman has kicked Hughes in the balls 3 times.
How is this not a point deduction?

Paul Hughes is legit. Very technical and great takedown defense.
He might be winning this fight.
Another Nurmagomedov having endurance issues.
Hughes needs this round and maybe he can get a draw
Great fight!
It’s probably a draw unless the point deduction round is given to Hughes. If it is, Hughes is the new champ.
Hughes probably won’t get a decision from the judges in muzzie land, though.

I think Usman gets a split decision
Both of these guys look like they could make 145.
Paul Hughes loses a majority decision.
There should be a rematch outside of goat humping lands and instead held in North America or Europe.
Great fight. It’s not a robbery, but I’d judge Hughes the winner or a draw before giving it to Usman. It was close, so I can’t say a robbery.
