The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 مرتين.
Potapov and Young were facing their toughest opponents in each other. Potapov (14-0-1, 6 كوس) controlled the pace early with his jab and was the more active fighter, throwing nearly double the punches that Young threw. Young picked up steam and gained confidence in the middle rounds and was at his best when he pressed the action and let his hands go. But the Russian Potapov, who had gone at least 10 rounds in his last six fights, was clearly more comfortable as the fight progressed.
After slowing in the seventh and eighth, شاب (14-0-3, 6 كوس) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. لكن, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10عشر and lost the final round on all three scorecards.
“I am very unhappy with the decision. For every time he hit me, I hit him twice,” said Potapov, الذين القوا 315 jabs compared to just 113 for Young. “I was the much busier fighter. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. At the very most I lost four rounds.
“I’ve never had a draw before. I feel cheated from a win. I was very happy to be fighting in America but I now feel cheated.”
بعد المعركة, سانت. Louis native Young was disappointed but knew that he needed to throw more punches.
“I feel like it was a good fight, but I should have got the decision,” Young said. “I hurt him every time I hit him. I let him be busier than me, but as far as the contact, I feel like I landed the more effective punches. That was my strategy.
“I should have come on a bit sooner. That was my plan, but I got a little relaxed in the fight. I came on in the ninth round when my coach told me to get him out of there.
“I most definitely want a rematch. I would like to do that again.”

Facing his toughest opponent to date, Menard floored (31-1, 23 كوس) Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round.
