CBS Sports: Akhror Muralimov vs. Derric Rossy RBR

I mean, Rossy was the superior boxer throughout - my only problem is that in all five of the rounds I gave Muralimov to reach a drawn scorecard, Rossy got badly wobbled at some point. (meanwhile the other half of the rounds were closely edged by Rossy more because of Muralimov's lack of...well, doing anything)

 

someone please find me 7 rounds that Derrek won

 

Pretty sure you can't do that.

..but it's hard to get upset.. it was a pathetic effort all around... Rossy goes back to being a journeyman and Akhror goes into oblivion.

Which is exactly what was going to happen sooner than later anyhow.

 

Among the worst I've watched.

...and that includes $5 gofightlive.com PPV and **** like that...

 

1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 10. There's six rounds and round 8 was the round Rossy could have potentially stole, but I didn't give it to him. It's tough and I don't think it's right, but it is actually do able.

 

I'm honestly trying to think of a card that was worse than this top to bottom.. and hmm can't think of one of the top of my head.

Rossy v Akhror is maybe a decent FnF opener... on paper at least.. in practice it was terrible.

 

Idk I think if Akhror loses 30 or so pounds he can be a top 15 hw maybe

 

No, just no.. he might get some paid for ranking in one of the sanctioning bodies.. but no way is he top 15.

He'd have to do a lot more than just lose weight.

 

I like Rossy but this was a step back. And the card was awful.

 

How's it a step back?

You gonna ignore losing to Joey Dawejko.. getting KO'd by Audley Freaking Harrison and stopped by old Mo' Harris? I mean he's a journeyman at best.. and a pretty shopworn one at that.

 

Bad fight, but good exposing of a "prospect" by Rossy, he's had some decent success over the last year or two. Win over Hanks, Close fight with Glazkov, and just handed a prospect his first loss. I knew Muralimov was pretty limited going into this, he had a decent amateur career but he went life and death with, and arguably lost to Evgeny Orlov of all people... Yeah he's not going anywhere.

 

I think he meant for Muralimov? As in, Rossy was a step down for him (obviously not from Jason Bergman whom Muralimov fought last, but arguably from Durodola, and maybe even Orlov & James? - though I'd disagree on both counts) and Muralimov had no business struggling with him?

 

Muralimov won 9 rounds out of 10.How he lost,oh,I got the answer he fought against the home fighter.No wonder Davejoko won against him.But good win for Rossy, he just won against a boxer who had an amateur record consisting of 150 fights and 15 losses and will be getting big fights soon.
