Why in the world is a 22 yr old kid with only 9 starts fighting at catchweight. Nikita Ababiy fighting Brandon Maddox.
Ababiy is one of those fighters that looks impressive but I’m not sure if he will ever go anywhere.
I'd dock a point for that haircut on "White Chocolate".
Maddox did pretty well in the first round
Maddox is very effective with his jab. The problem is that he is starting to take way too many body shots which are really bothering him
Maddox on point with the stick and landing clean rights frequently on Ababiy. Managed to bust his nose and red along right eye. Kid needs to get off center line
Ababiy using the jab as an afterthought and throwing all load up bombs. Pretty solid body shots but one at a time.
Ababiy has so many flaws. Mainly, he is just an athletic kid.
Into the 5th Ababiy steadied last couple rounds but he really doesn't put much together and has the head movement of Mount Rushmore. Maddox huffing and puffing but getting in soft touches in this round.
I have it a draw.
Two main problems with Ababiy. First, for being an offensive fighter, he has a tough time putting his punches together. Second, he has real problems with getting jabbed.
