Andre Dirrell vs. James DeGale RBR

Round 3

Rodriguez is starting to work the body intently. Overhand rights by Rodriguez when Baker ducks in with his elbows tucked against the band of his trunks in response. Rodriguez is catching Baker with a bit of everything now, throwing bombs to head and body. To his credit, Baker is standing up to everything well, never getting caught with too many flush chin shots, everything up top skidding off his eye socket or sideburns or intercepted on the gloves. One in every three powerful chopping overhand rights up top, however, does smash flush into Baker's cheek. The ref jumps in.

TKO3!

 

You can't just not throw a punch on the wrong end of a nonstop one-sided power assault (even if a majority isn't landing) for that long and then act surprised when you get waved off.

 

Not saying I loved the stoppage, but Craig Baker is a moron.

 

Think La Bomba could avenge himself in the pros?

On his "on nights", like when he whacked out Grachev... he's kinda scary. :think

More often than not though, he's a clunky dud.
