Arthur Abraham vs. Giovanni De Carolis & Jack Culcay vs. Guido Pitto II RBR

Round 3

De Carolis is darting in and out with the jab. Abraham begins to open up with the right hand but can't touch De Carolis flush with it. A few graze the ear of De Carolis as he is bouncing around. Abraham is moving forward, striking in serpentine motions with speed that surprises De Carolis.

10-9 De Carolis but looking better for Abraham...

30-27 De Carolis

 

Round 4

De Carolis is getting caught more with the right hand as he runs low on gas circling away. Body shots whipped in wide by Abraham flying in on De Carolis. Left jabs by De Carolis circling rapidly and covering up as Abraham thumps under his elbows.

10-9 Abraham

39-37 De Carolis

 

You stole that joke from Twitter! (or is that your account? )

 

Round 5

De Carolis is dancing away, leaning down off Abraham's jab and shoulder-tackling his way into clinches. Abraham is failing to catch him on the way in or out, but is throwing big wide body punches on the outside. Clapping right up top by De Carolis paving the way for another clinch. Right hand lead by Abraham. Another knocks De Carolis' head back and makes him nearly keel over before recovering his balance and dancing away on his toes. Abraham stalks behind a jab. De Carolis is looking a bit untidy with his footwork now, almost stumbling into the ropes sidelong.

10-9 Abraham

48-47 De Carolis

 

:yep


Gotta rest up for that Hopkins vs. Murat FOTY candidate later...

 

Round 6

De Carolis is hurt by a left hook lead by Abraham. De Carolis holds. Split up by the ref. Abraham is plowing in with hooks on the body and having his head squeezed and pushed down by De Carolis as a stalling tactic. Abraham shrugs at the ref, annoyed. More pressure by Abraham, slinging body shots.

10-9 Abraham

57-57
