David won easy. Its funny how there was 1 point in it but Jabba had 2 points deducted. It wasnt staged in thailand because there were 2 thais competing and it would have been a massive advantage considering the thais are the the best at thai boxing (hence the name) a Thai even won the show. I am English so you may think I am biased. I thought Jabba was going to destroy David with Davids emotion before the fight and Jabba speaking calm and determened. But David seem to connect more. Did you see the look on Jabbas face he looked tired and beaten in the second round. He thought he had lost at the end. The crowd were cheering Davids name, his team mates knew he had won. Throws shouldnt count Jabba was using them as rest bite because David was on top. I think it may have come down to being a black,british or religious thing considering what country they were in and the fact jabba is a muslim.

Off topic, but I do believe Sambo has a lot of throws. Matches start on the feet and they wear a gi much like in judo.

Dhzabar is from Russia. Sambo is a russian style of ground fighting.

He could know sanshou though I suppose.

I knew MT has some throws and stuff, but very often the fight looked more like an MMA fight than a MT match. David should have done more to prevent those throws because he was really flying in the air, and it made him look like a sissy. Dhzabar must know Sambo.

Without the deductions, it was a very close fight and maybe Dhzabar was slightly ahead. BUT with 2 point deductions, I really don’t know how he won. It’s either I don’t know enough about MT, or the judges were off.

u guys are just stupid noobs who dont watch enough lumpini or thai boxing in thailand in general, those slamms do count for points, specifically dominance and u get points for controlling the ring. did u guys see how tired david was after getting up from the dhzabar’s slamms? thats dhzabar’s dominance, dhzabar was being schooled by david’s better technique and used his strength to bring david down to stop him from striking. anyways what the fuck is up with the camera view changing i can barely tell whats goin on in the fight. its fuckin edited man, this aint muay thai

What a crock of shit decision. David CLEARLY had the better striking, even when he played it safe in the last 2 rounds. Dzhebar’s striking needs ALOT of work. Also, half of Dzhebar’s so-called “throws” were actually him being off balance after over-committing to sloppy strikes, then just falling on David. Add that to the 2 point deduction, and David wins that fight in any un-biased arena. I guess they wanted to keep Dzhebar around for drama. Either that or they used blind 6yr olds for judges.
