Kovalev v Shabranskyy~ Gamboa v Sosa..HBO trilple header.

[Spicoli]

That's a terrible decision.

Spent 3 rounds on the phone and still had Sosa winning.

[Alpha]

Both guys down in the 1st. Barrera went down harder. Valera showboating early in the 2nd but seemed to anger Barrera into action. Don't see this going the distance.

[Alpha]

Low blow to start the 3rd. Point taken from Valera.

[Alpha]

Barrera's been cut over the left eye since the 2nd round. Blood flowing freely from in in the 4th. Valera switching to southpaw and having some success. Targeting that eye. Valera has an awkward style with lots of movement.

[Alpha]

Another low blow from Valrea early in the 6th. Another point taken. Ref warns one more and he'll stop it.

[Alpha]

Pretty good 6th after the action continues. Barrera landing some big shots. Valera looks tired and seemed hurt towards the end of the round.

[Spicoli]

Valera is really top heavy and tries to sharp shoot. Tough scrap over seven Barrera showing overall substance. Pretty sure Kellerman vs Roy will co main the next card . Dudes need couple counseling

[Alpha]

Another point from Valera in the 8th. Ref doesn't stop the fight, he lets it continue. Barrera should be well ahead on the cards.

That's a terrible decision.

Honestly felt Sosa did not do enough to win and there were a ton of close rounds. That point deduction in the last round was bogus and hbo were anti Gamboa all night. Was happy with the decision.

The best I could see for Gamboa was a draw and that is being generous and giving him all the close rounds. That 96-92 card for Gamboa is terrible. 96-93 Sosa is what I had.

Gamboa got the decision but Sosa could have got the nod it was not a bad fight to watch two former Champs facing each other good to see.

Yeh honestly need a rewatch. Gamboa boxed early but body language is terrible late, definitely had Sosa late with 7,8,9,10 and two of those 2 point rounds. That's 94 right there and not even judging 5th or 6th. Wouldn't call them total anti Gamboa affording a Golden Boy promoted guy in with fresh multi fight contract such a premier spot last minute.

[palmerq]

I thought Gamboa really shouldn't have won... I think you could have it 5-5 in rounds at best for gamboa but he had two points taken away not added :S... Bad decision for me, Gamboa looked uncomfortable from the second round on, he started well but sosa looked well in control...

[Gandalf]

Kovalev looked very good. Think his opponent was an obvious level down though. It will be interesting to see how Kovalev plays out his career now. A sneaky part of me still wants to see him KO Andre Ward, but Ward knows he cheated and rode his luck.

[palmerq]

I think there is a fairly Good chance ward will make a comeback, I think Ward is great but I don't think he wants to take on all of the current wave of Russian destroyers that are coming up in the lhw division or take on the standard contenders . I think he will wait it out a bit and see how beterbiev and bivol do v kovalev and then take on the winner of all of them in what he hopes will be a superfight. I don't think Ward made that much money in his career (relatively speaking of course).
