Barthelemy v Shafikov

[Lineal]

I'm surprised at how Barthelemy is fighting. I've seen him before and he has looked slick. Here he is basically flatfooted and standing square in front. Maybe making 135 took something out of him?

[Spicoli]

Barthelemy fighting like a guy who expects his legs to stiffin, just a dumb face first approach

[Lineal]

Close hard fight to score. Shafikov cut in the 7th by a punch they say. Nice brisk action by both guys

[Lineal]

Anyone else sense a slight shift in momentum? Barthelemy targeting that right eye, just trying to walk over him now. Short stopped for the Dr to examine the cut. They let it go on.

[Spicoli]

Shafikov huge cut in 8th! He should yell out "I'm diminished" and hope for a pass

Barthelemy can pot shot this from here but fights like Andre Berto instead

[Lineal]

Barthelemy has taken over down the stretch. Hands down, bolo punches

[Spicoli]

Very sharp start to 11th for Shafikov then Rances timed and painted him with big lefts second half. Shafikov needs a brick to win this

[Lineal]

Barthelemy should win but some of the early rounds were close

[Lineal]

Nice solid win for Barthelemy.
