John Wood Admits He Overlooked Damage When Scoring Merab vs. Petr Yan

The ex-bantamweight champion Dvalishvili’s coach, Wood, has clarified why he initially believed his fighter was three rounds up against Yan. Wood admitted he “wasn’t taking damage into consideration” and focused on knowing Merab wasn’t badly hurt despite the cuts. He said he scored rounds one and two for Merab, three close, and gave four and five to Yan “hands down.”
