I feel like there should be a point. Hall is lighting him up then letting him get it back against the fence

10-9 Costa. He landed the better damage and was ripped off by the Ref. Those jabs are just pitter patter, doing nothing.

Hall milked that. The second one grazed the shorts. Glad it wasn’t a point.

Excellent Knockout by Paulo Costa in what was a brutal slugfest.

@Spudgreg no doubt those grazing shots can be the worse. You also might not feel them til 20 seconds later. I could be wrong and Hall I guess had the right to take the time but to me it looked like he just wanted a break and it didn’t hit Cup but all shorts. It was no dirty shot and Hall was open handed pawing as much as Costa...from what I saw.

I'll never understand why Hall doesn't throw his right hand after the jab. He has a quick, crisp right straight and for some reason he barely throws it.

Good test but those fouls made hall angry and he stayed in the pocket at times when he wouldn’t usually have done so
