Teofimo Lopez vs Steve Claggett ESPN

Massive 5th for Akale. Ali Walsh hurt and near folded late on ropes!

Akale definitely won that 5th round. Nico's gonna have to assert himself in the final round.

That is brutal the shoulder of Nico? He's a one arm fighter playing keep away but Akale letting off the gas.

WTF?? A dislocated shoulder?? Truth is Nico didn't throw a single left hand the whole last round.

Here comes the decision....

Think it's fair to say that Ali Walsh is already at exactly where he's going as a fighter. But no idea what the crowd is booing. They're all over the kid :-X

Interesting hear him make the circus boxing vs "real" fights talk. I had no idea he was offered a Jake Paul lotto fight some time ago ;D.

Ramirez needs to look A+ here. No coasting no hands in the pockets.

Algieri is probably the most perceptive fighter turned announce since Paulie. Think of them what we will they spot "it". This feels like an audition for him ;D. Sharp 1st Ramirez.

Good 3rd round! I thought Robeisy took based on his working Benitez over in the first 30 seconds of the round. Benitez responded well, though.

Benitez is here for it. Applying pressure 3rd with whipping long hooks to body. Ramirez picking spots stronger early.

Very composed 4th by Ramirez. Hands being put together well. Still not completely invisible though. Some small shots from Benitez get in here and there. Like to see Ramirez steady step on the gas

Face of Benitez is falling apart he just doesn't have anything on these to trouble Ramirez. Being picked apart in 5th

I'm not sure Robeisy missed any power shots to the head in that 5th round. Benitez obviously has a good chin.

Benitez definitely a tough kid no doubt. Ramirez finding all the openings pretty much as he pleases. Showing to be very fluid here.
