Robert Easter Jr v Luis Cruz - live on Boxnation 11/2/17

[Spicoli]

I think ref missed a KD on Warren in 3rd. He was caught clean and propelled off ropes to canvas. Close close call.

At least it woke Zhakiyanov up.

Very much so, like flipping a switch. He's trying to sit on his chest from that point. Both free swinging..Warren too much so but the face of Khakiyanov marking up big time.

Warren down again!! Called a push also. ZZ has to know he needs to pull away now to keep it close with judges

[Alpha]

They start out trading center ring. Did that right put Warren down? Waived no knockdown. Zhakiyanov all over Warren once he gets up. Landing more. 3-6 (-2 Zhakiyanov KD).

[Alpha]

Warren starts the round boxing. Zhakiyanov catches up to him after the first minute. Very close round. Harder shots landed by Zhakiyanov. 3-7 (-2 Zhakiyanov KD).

[Spicoli]

Warren riding those ropes like that looks like a guy about to get caught ugly. His legs must feel like stilts by now. ZZ really muscling him around. Tough to score this one. Good start to 11th for Warren

[Alpha]

Another close round. I think Zhakiyanov snatched it late. 3-8 (-2 Zhakiyanov KD).

[Spicoli]

Warren given 'final warning' for holding Didn't see that much. Ref probably more involved in final round than entire fight. Quality scrap this one!

Warren down yet again..another slip ruled. Know what..on replay that should have been a KD. He wilted down under pressure imo. Anyone smell a draw?

[Alpha]

Both guys trading. Was that a knockdown against Warren again? Not ruled. Zhakiyanov roughed Warren up whole fight. Close round. 3-9 (-2 Zhakiyanov KD). 115-111 Zhakiyanov.

[Alpha]

115-111 Warren, 115-111 Zhakiyanov, 116-110 Zhakiyanov !!!!!!!

[Spicoli]

Honestly thought Warren was on his way to first round blitz. Warren may be in for another rematch! 115-111..Warren...115-111 ZZ...116-110 ZZ for WIN! Wow, now I like that. Right guy won and upsets make the boxing world go around. Very good fight.

[Alpha]

Yeah nice fight. Glad they didn't take it from Zhakiyanov. Warren will kick himself for not ending it in the first.

[Spicoli]

This is why you never dismiss an unknown mandatory whos name you cannot pronounce . In Warrens hometown no less.

[Alpha]

Don't think this goes 12.

[Spicoli]

Easter just has that look about him. Great wingspan and knows his range

[Alpha]

Easter Jr looks at weight class or 2 bigger.

[Spicoli]

did they really nickname him Easter Bunny? Come on man. Have some imagination
