I'm not a boxing expert. So interested how they score cos it looked like Farooq to me. By a long way even before the point deduction.
But he weeves a lot and does that launching jab. Do judges look down on that technique? And tbf his face was a mess and Lee connected all night with uppercuts. And Lee showed good technique and switched comfortably to South paw.
But dunno. I'm not a judge. Just looked like if it was in the street, Farooq won it and Lee looked shattered on his feet and hanging on at the end. Another round I think he'd have collapsed.
All that said. He's a jambo. He's 22. From saughton. And has just landed British and commonwealth belts back to Edinburgh. Brilliant Lightning.
Can't wait for this one tonight. Watched the fight back and Ruiz really outclassed him. If the rumours are true about the KO in camp beforehand it would make a big difference this time around if he's fresh.
