ESPN's Friday Night Fights boxing matches used to have fights like this. Two low level guys in cheap Everlast gloves just sorta throwing ineffective punches in bunches, then nothing happens and it goes to a close decision.

No offense, but both of these guys should do 3-4 fights in Bellator and come back to the UFC.

No score including only 10-9 or even 10-10 rounds would shock me.
