All fights from the Queens card were pretty neat. Good action from all four main fights. You can even say that it was better than the Times Square one in May. All jokes aside, which one was your favorite?
Who voted for Sheeraz-Berlanga? It was literally 3 rounds of nothing, and then a one sided beatdown in the 4th.
Finally getting to see Shakur in a fight he could show the world more of his skills was great. That fight definitely.
4 fantastic fights for different reasons. Morrell vs Khataev was my pick, had me gripped from start to finish. Sheeraz blitzed Berlanga and Shakur and Zepeda became predictable after the 4th. It was still a great fight, but it's up against stiff competition. It would be great to see Khataev and Morrell in a rematch in a 12-rounder.
All of them were worth watching, even Sheeraz whipping Berlanga. But in terms of competitive action and excitement Morrell vs Khataev takes it for me even though I disagree with the results. Followed by Matias vs Puello which was also closely fought. Shakur vs Zepeda was fun too but became one sided after the first half and it all Shakur onwards.
Morrell vs Khataev obviously It was incredibly satisfying and rewarding watching Sheeraz expose Berlangy for the insanely delusional glass-jawed hype job he is and take him out in that fashion in his own backyard but up until the finish nothing really happened Shakur vs Zepeda was a good fight and whilst I think Zepeda clearly won at least 3 of the first 4 rounds and the scorecards were far too wide, Zepeda proved he has a poor ring IQ, despite his high KO% isn't a big puncher, and lacks skill. Matias, like Zepeda, is a relentless pressure fighter but he's better than Zepeda and a better pressure fighter than him. You have to spoil and box the damn near perfect fight to beat him or octopus grab like crazy and spoil all night just to avoid being completely overwhelmed by him and make it to the final bell which is exactly what Puello did last night. It was a good fight but watching any fight involving spoilers who octopus grab like crazy all night often infuriates me and makes me lose interest real quick especially when the corrupt SOB refs turn a blind eye to it Whereas, conversely, both Morrell and Khataev are actually very skilled and powerful, have ring IQs, and they put on the fight of the night. I didn't think Khataev was as skilled and quick as he proved to be. Sure, Morrell is not as good as I previously thought he was but he's for sure very physically gifted and skilful.
