WBSS Cruiserweight Series

[Master]

This is on now on sky sports

Dorticos is taking on Tabiti and think Tabiti won the first round.

[Master]

Tabiti looks small against Dorticos who is now putting some good pressure on Tabiti in the 2nd round.

1 all.

[Master]

Tabiti is winning the 3rd round but it took a lot out of him, I can not see him do that much work for the whole fight.

Tabiti 2-1

[Master]

Dorticos is looking slow and loading his punches but Tabiti is moving around and holding a lot.

3-1 Tabiti

[Master]

Dorticos starts fast and aggressive, the ref has told them off for making it a messy fight which could cause cut by a clash of heads, but I can see Tabiti getting beat up and stopped.

3-2 Tabiti

[Master]

Just as I predicted there is a clash of heads in the 6th round.

Dorticos is cut now and must go for it. Dorticos going hard to the body and Tabiti has a point deducted for holding. The pressure is getting too much for him.

3 all

[Master]

Tabiti punched low in 7th and taking a much needed breather.

Dorticos showing some urgency and showing relentless pressure.

4 - 3 Dorticos, takes the lead for the fight.

[Master]

Tabiti is just surviving in the 8th , Dorticos is putting some hurt on him.

5-3 Dorticos

[Master]

Tabiti probably sneaked the round there as Dorticos slowed down in the 9th.

5-4

[Master]

Tabiti gets flattened in the 10th round by a big right hand by Dorticos. Too big, strong and better. He is ecstatic that he has won.

Not to rain on the thread, but since I cant find a way to watch anyways, why did they do another cruiserweight WBSS? I expect Breidis to come out on top now, but feel Gassiev was a little better than him, and hes moved up to HW now along with Usyk and Michael Hunter. In other words, the best fighters have left the division and its back to the no mans land it had been for years. Shouldnt be complaining against high level fights getting made I know, but literally any other weight class would have been more interesting.

I agree but they probably could not afford it in the other divisions and have these fighters and belts signed up.

[Master]

Glowacki v Briedis is on next, do I do the rbr or wait for the Warrington fight?

You must be right there. Just seems to defeat the whole thing when there is a clear winner of the tournament and then they do another back to back to determine a distant runner up. Every other WBSS has been a great thing for fans and the respective divisions so far.

The first round was close and both not committing to much but the second was more lively and the atmosphere sounds great there.
