Roman Karmazin v. Sebastian Sylvester

I liked Roman's performance against Dionasio Miranda, but he may be in tough against Sylvester.

Here is a good interview with Karmazin: Roman Karmazin: One Final Chance For The Warrior - Boxing News

People's take?

That is a pretty good card huh.

Sylvester by decision.

I'm rooting for Karmazin but I think Sylvester will get the W.

I like Karmazin and hope he can get the win, but there are spells in recent fights where he has looked really quite fragile.

It's easy to want to support Karmazin he has incredible heart, you know he's not going to quit. That said I agree with the general sentiment here that Sylvester takes it on the cards just too much for the old grizzled veteran. Of course if Karmazin some how pulls this out it would make me very happy.

Anyone else watching?

For those interested in a link, let me know.
Fighters are walking to the ring now.

This is sure to end in a brutal TKO, me thinks...

Karma boxing well early attacking the body. Which is a really good plan, to attack SS early on and try and wear him down.
Nice left hand by SS there.
SS throwing jabs to the body all the jabs he threw were pretty much down stairs.

Feel out round neither one attacked per say.
Close round but I thought SS looked for the fight more and the left hand pretty much was the telling blow of the round.

Karma more agressive here bringing the fight to SS.
More tactical then I expected the fight to be.

In the center of the ring and lot's of jabs.
Both trying to counter each other.

As the fight goes on they'll open up and be more agressive and land more telling blows.

Round to SS again the left hand wins him the round as he lands cleaner and harder with it.

SS showing a lot of waist movement making Karma miss a lot with his jab.
Karma can't find SS, and SS just keeps Karma off rhythim.

The left of SS again landing cleanly. Both guys trying to establish the jab.
SS is slightly more successful with his jab.
Neither guys is letting off here.
Both guys active and busy.

I have SS wining all 3 rounds thus far.

Def. not the type of fight I thought it'd be...

Both guys come out very agressive here.
SS lands a good left. Karma throws a good jab and catches SS.
Karmas jab landing here early.
SS begins to move and is making Karma miss now.
SS backs Karma with a hard jab.
Karma throwing right hands but SS catching them and blockign them.

By far the busiest round of the fight.

Karmas left eye is cut ref did not indicate if it was a punch or accidental.

The close out the round exchanging blows there.

SS fight he's landing cleaner, speradic but nonetheless clean.
This was Karmas best round and still not enough.

SS tagging Karma in these 2 rounds...
Karma started off with a good plan but forgot it right away.

Then he looked to be waking up in round 5 but round 6 was all SS.

If SS puts some punches together and adds a little more pressure I think he stops Karma before the 10th.

I have a clean sweep thru 6 rds for SS.

Missed several rounds there...
Well not missed but I was on the phone but I saw the rounds.

Pretty much the same, SS controlling and landing cleanly.
SS almost got the knockdown in the 11th.

Karma really busted up now and face look swollen.
SS bringing it to Karma looking for the TKO.

Karma not giving up though fighting on even through the 12th round.
He's still throwing with conviction and fighting back.

That's the bell...

Good win for SS.
Karma just couldn't figure out SS.
Karma did look old here in this performance that or SS is just that much better then Karma.

Would love to see SS vs. Macklin soon... :cool:

They are taking FOREVER to add up the score...

111-117 for Karmazin WTF???

118-111 for SS

114-114 Draw WTF???

What a fucken disgrace...

That has got to be one of the WORST robberies ever.
Yes some of the early rounds were close but SS won more rounds and won them clearly.

No way was it a robbery. Bad scorecards but I had Karmazin winning 115-113 . Surely a close fight and a draw is decent
