robson conceicao wins by split decision, one judge has it for robson by four points, one judge has it for o'shaquie by four points & the third has it for robson by two points
All seriousness though...been watching and scoring fights as a fan for 36 years. This was one of the worst in recent memory. At least a decade. Something smells and it smells like the wbc and some bullshit.
I have to admit I didn't see the whole fight. From what I saw, though... it looked like Foster had dominated most of the rounds. Looks like a bad decision to me, but what else is new in boxing. :-\
Mixed bag for Brazil tonight.
They just lost to Uruguay in penalties to get bounced out of the Copa America semifinals.
Penalties are a shitty way to end a game, IMO.
Onto Shakur v Artem. This card flew by in its own way. Artem seems abundantly confident. Wonder what Shakur weighs here
Shakur 1st. Artem def crafty. May all come down to the temperament on Shakur here. So much gets lost in his other conduct etc. But the kid is a boxing fool. Oozing skill.
Just watching this one, burnt on scoring. But the crowd starts to stir early 3rd. Artem has that "jazz hands" thing he does. Stays up front but tons of motion.
commentary talking shit again
Like the whip on left hook of Artem. Has pretty fast hands in there. Shakur staying close for it though.
Espn really has to upgrade on the production. They cut so many rounds to commercial early
Shakur starting to separate and stepping into it.
Left hook got to Artem in the gut. But Shakur is also working that belt. Showing very nice upper body defense and twitch is Shakur.
Artem mounting a small stand mid 9th. Shakur started to near maul him early. Shakur still can't pop a ballon with his punches but he's using his body here.
Round 11. If you're calling yourself p4p elite it's time to advance the advantages. Close strong. Artem working well with what he has but taking a lot. He's already gauged Artem power this late on so try kicking in the door. Final round up
i've got shakur winning by four points
12th round fini. Safe to say Tank won't be hiding under his bed from this. In fairness Shakur fought much more up front and slightly physical. He just got too content with it. Artem tough no doubt.
119-109...118-110...116-112 Shakur with the U12
one judge has it by ten points, one by eight points eight points & the third by four points all for shakur
I feel bad for Foster :eek:
I have no doubt he should have won that fight
Love his defense but I'd like to see him more aggressive
Stevenson's not a puncher :o
He needs to listen to his corner
I thought he put on a dominant performance against a very good, determined opponent :cool:
Mason continues to impress :)
because of the way a southpaw stands you can hook around his right elbow.

thats how michael dokes knocked out bobby crabtree.

your right elbow is what protects your liver and because of the way a southpaw stands that punch is always kind of just there for you. but because of the way stevenson puts his arm across his body, you can't hook around his right elbow anymore and that takes that punch away from you. he kind of looks like he has his arm in a sling.
you can't hook around his right elbow, but because his hand is down, why can't you just hit him with a hook up top? or can you?
the wbc has ordered an immediate rematch between robson conceicao & o'shaquie foster
