WSB (World Series of Boxing) - Season 3 ***Champions: Kazakhstan Astana Arlans***

[IntentionalButt]

Round 5

Tavares is catching the big fat rights of Joseph, flapped in an arc, on his gloves and then responding with short lefts with his knees bent to spring into them. Joseph steps forward in small increments, keeping his guard up as Tavares swings rapidly to the body and then shoeshines to the face. Lunging jab by Joseph. Tavares executes a matador turn brushing Joseph's face with a right. A few batting lefts to the hip by Joseph. Tavares dances around him at short range, then ducks a hook. Clinch. Big flurry by Joseph, very sloppy. He scores once or twice but is all over the place and soon tied up. Tavares is riding out the clock.

10-9 Tavares

50-45 Tavares

Official cards:

Judge 1 50-45
Judge 2 49-46
Judge 3 50-45

UD for Michel Tavares.

With that, the Thunder take the match - best three out of five.

The light heavyweight and heavyweight contests effectively do not matter except for the individuals' records.

On that note, I'm out. If somebody else (Vys, Rog) wants to cover the rest, go ahead.

Paul Koon the 3rd doing pretty good.

Up 20-18 vs Modungo
