Bohn : Upon second review of this fight, it was closer than it felt live in the moment. It felt like a good moment to end on and he avoided get badly damaged in front of his wife and three kids cageside, but the result seemed academic at that point.

But as we just reviewed, the rounds were pretty darn close, and for judges who only get a single angle from cageside, have no benefit of replays and must turn in their scores within the one-minute break between rounds, I can understand how Swanson got his. Close fights can have clear winners, though, and it seemed my fellow Canadian Dawodu had done enough.
