Alright they're going to go at it again this time, Powell claims he's not going to be stoned so he should win. I like Deandre he's got that cinderella story thing going, in their first fight he was a clear underdog and brought in as a stay busy opponent for Powell. Teddy Atlas went to great lengths to talk about how he (Latimore) had a padded record that was virtually meaningless because of where his fights had happened (Missouri).
Apparently Latimore didn't get the memo and used his solid fundamentals and constant stalking style to wear down Powell. Powell seemed to be unable to get his counters off and when they did land, they did little to deter Latimore. Powell then resorted to mind games trying to make it look like a rope-a-dope, but paid the price with some telling power combos from Latimore. Even though Powell didn't look very hurt, after a barrage of unanswered punches the ref stepped in to put a stop to the action in the 7th round.
I really hope Latimore can pull it out again. Powell has a lot to prove and needs a decisive win to become relevant again.
