FNF: Magomed Abdusalamov vs. Maurice Byarm & Javier Fortuna vs. Cristobal Cruz RBR

damn Mathebula is huge.

What is his style like? Does he have a nice jab?

 

Garcia's running the show!!

 

Enjoy the rest of the card, Butt :happy

 

Put your little boners away, Abdusalamov enthusiasts.

Be satisfied your guy scored an impressive TKO2 win (with a knockdown) over a guy that highly regarded Bryant Jennings took the distance in his only prior loss.

Don't try to inflate the 1st round into a 10-8. That's just pathetic.

 

Shocker South African fighter getting a shot at the IBF title. Do any other sanctioning bodies actually recognise South Africa??

 

the duration of the "ownage" is not relevant. the effectiveness of the punching is what you are judging, you dont have a clock in your head.

 

Hope Pavlik can show a glimpse of him old self this saturday.

 

There's more of a fight going on here as Byarm put up :bbb

 

Mago destroyed that American bum.

 

'Out on his feet' isn't scoring criteria. A guy could be out on his feet from 1 punch. In itself, it shouldn't win you the round. To score a 10-8 without a KD, it has to be a dominant round.

 

he likes to brawl. he falls right into donaires hands

 

looks like fortuna is next

i guess not

 

Some shots got through his guard in that last thirty seconds. Not all, and I wouldn't even say most.

Are you watching on TV or a computer? If the former, try rewinding. Count the punches that land.

Sure, the ones that did hurt Byarm. He was in a horribly precarious situation, but fortunately the bell came in the nick of time for him to avoid a KO1 loss. However, he was not dominated enough to even come close to considering a 10-8 round and no serious experienced boxing scorer would think to do so in that situation. Note there are only two of you clinging to this idea, and one of you admitted in your very first post ITT that you'd be spending the night trolling.

 

I would like to see Mago in with a Travis Walker, or a Michael Grant next.

 

pathetic?
to call a round in which a man took flush bombs in the corner and nearly lost consciousness 10-8?


no
pathetic to be unable to see that calling that a ten eight round certainly isnt out of the question
which it isn't. i'd be shocked if one of the three judges did not score that a ten eight round.
