Boxing | OT | - Making the count

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

Can't see the upcoming fight being anything other than completely onesided, but oh well... Let's watch this.

P.S. I have a friend, he's a 23 yo italian amateur boxer fighting as LHW, who recently met Hurd.
He said he was fucking massive, way bigger than him.
It's insane that this guy manages to cut enough weight to fight as a superwelter.

He does look damn massive on my screen. Not sure how big the other guy is.

edit: This Welborn guy doesn't even have a wikipedia page. But I'm impressed, he has such a size disadvantage and did well there.

He's looking pretty ballsy so far.

Adonis was ahead on the scorecards, lol.



I had it 7-3 for the Ukrainian after 10 rounds

I swear look at the ref's face when he lifts the winner's hand, he looked pissed like he did something wrong and knew he was going to get shit. He's not getting his paycheck or bonus or whatever it is.

They are beyond bad. They are absolutely embarrassing. 98-92 for Stevenson is criminal.

There's always one judge who didn't even try to play it off. LOL

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

Well, that was intense.
Which I didn't expect.
I had Fury ahead most of the fight, but with the second KD he almost surely lost it.

EDIT - Ahahahaha, split draw.
Incidentally, 113-113 is the only scorecard I found reasonable.

Boxing.

It's a decent, reasonable verdict, even if the two score cards at the margins were both pretty absurd.

I had Fury winning basically all rounds bar the second (and obviously the two 10-8), but he was against the home fighter and he was dropped twice.
I'm already surprised he wasn't robbed blind.

This. LOL However there were early close rounds where much didn't happen that you could've given to either fighter. IMO those rounds should be scored 10-10 but their discouraged to score rounds like that.

That's repertory footage, for the record.
And it would fit a lot more what was attempted at expenses of his own fighter tonight, anyway.

Yep we all know they would have called it a draw or give it to Stevenson if it went the distance.

Hope he's ok

 

[Syder]

Uhhhh... hope he's fine but he's still a terrible guy.

 

[Turin]

He's likely done reprehensible shit but for his kids sake, I hope he's fine.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

Generally speaking I'm not one for witch hunts, but as a quick reminder Adonis Stevenson isn't a "man of questionable integrity"; he was a bona fide monster:

When Fury retires I hope he trains boxers, I'm following anyone he's in the corner of.

 

[TheeFanatic]

Damn i missed that first round KO earlier. Navarrette looks good for his first fight in the U.S.

 

[BadAss2961]

Had Wilder/Fury 114-112 for Wilder after rewatching it.

Scored 3 of the first 4 rounds for Wilder. Fury dictated the pace with his movement and jab, but without actually landing it much. Wilder landed a few stiff jabs to the head and body in these rounds. 39-37

Also ended up scoring either round 5 or 6 for Wilder, which I didn't expect. 58-56

Fury outboxes Wilder in 7 and 8. 76-76

Wilder scores a knockdown in the 9th. 86-84

Fury tags up Wilder in 10 and 11. 104-104

Wilder scores the knockdown in the 12th. 114-112.

The laser lights looked pretty cool. Trips is there watching

I'll give Loma a pass on this fight. He's too hesitant on using the right hand due to the surgery

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

I'm reading people on reddit scoring this even so far and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
I don't have a single round for Pedraza so far. The 8th was probably his best one and he still lost it.

 

[TheeFanatic]

Commentators have it 7-2. Only one that had it close was Andre Ward

 

[RecRoulette]

Damn, Pedraza ran out of juice nd got lit up

 

[OfficerRob]

Pedraza ate a billion punches

 

[OfficerRob]

Pedraza took a knee to get out of that round

 

[TheeFanatic]

That 11th round, whoa!!

Papa Haitch scouting the talent

 

[Stalwart]

I had loma winning 9-3 but pedraza made the rounds closer than I expected. On to canelo next week. Dam HBO last boxing was tonight , I grew up on watching fights there. Oscar vs Vargas was one of the main ones that got me into boxing :(

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

This was the worst Lomachenko looked in a while (starting with the uncharateristically timid opening rounds) and he still won the fight handily on autopilot mode.

These scorecard seem about right. I have no idea how some people though it was a close fight.
Sometime I'm under the impression people just see hands going out and they don't pay attention to where these shots actually land.

Teddy and Stephen A about to talk on ESPN. *Grabs the popcorn*

 

[Brinbe]

Goddamn, Loma. When he turns it on, jeezus.

 

[Turin]

Loma's out of his comfort zone since stepping up to lightweight. It's gonna be interesting to see how he adjusts over time.

 

[TheeFanatic]

The 30 for 30 on Buster Douglas was decent

 

[Turin]

I've seen enough documentaries about that night. I'd check in for something unusual like Muhammad and Larry.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Canelo tonight

Edit: These two women fighting, apparently the one with the cornrows already lost six time against the same boxer before, and now she is losing every round. Can't they find anyone better to make these matches?

Going for Braulio, he's dominican!

Hope this fight is somewhat competitive…

I'd be incline to doubt it, but the height advantage is more significant than I expected, so maybe at least it won't be trivially easy work.

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

Someone in the audience was clearly yelling "FUCK YOUR QUEEN".
Not sure if I find that more unnecessarily rude or hilarious.
