Pretty entertaining fight last night and stiffest test to date for Carrington. Segawa started awkward and deceptively physical on the inside knowing how to use the shoulders and hips etc. He'd get off loopy quick shots and then clench up and it was not a good spot for Carrington. He actually rattled Carrington in the opening round with a clean fast left-right hand. Bruce found his stride mid rounds but was still thinking out loud and over studying Segawa, he had a time getting in and fully solving the puzzle most of the night and jab remained underutilized. Work rate of southpaw Segawa was high and late on he started boxing more and held his own. Both did some posing and gabbing late, Carrington even dropping his hands and sticking out his tongue which was odd for a guy who has been so zeroed and focused thus far. Carrington closed decent enough, punch selection was there coming forward and Segawa chose to completely blow the 10th and final round on the backfoot doing little. A couple of these rounds were honestly coin flips, both had moments but tbh Segawa kept Carrington in check and made it very difficult to get any momentum flowing. Good fight I ended up with a 95-95 draw but can see a case either way by a point or two. He can take a lot from this fight and this is why they fight the fights. A very much needed test for Shu Shu who is being fast tracked mentioned in the Rafael Espinoza v Robeisy Ramirez rematch winner scenario for a title. Shu Shu sits at #2 #2 and #1 in three of the 4 bodies. He's going to be doing some learning going forward.
