Many rounds
were difficult to score, and after twelve rounds
of action between highly skilled boxers, it was
clear that both men believed they had done enough
to emerge victorious, but could not be sure.
However,
while the judges scorecards were appropriately
close, the decision was unanimous as Antonio
Grigorov, Roland Kroi and Georgi Ivanov all scored
it for Panov: 116-114, 115-113 and 117-114.
Recording
by far his most significant win against his best
opponent to date, a jubilant Panov improved his
professional record to 25-3 (11).
Messaoud,
now 17-7 (1), lost for the first time in over
eight years, but did himself proud and can
certainly come back in another big fight on the
back of an excellent performance.
The show
was promoted by Max Fight Production, who is
firmly establishing itself as a premier player
when it comes to arranging world class fight
sports.
