Sebastian Sylvester vs. Mahir Oral & Kubrat Pulev vs. Dominick Guinn RBR

Round 11

Oral is holding his own now, throwing in high volume and really making an effort to hurt Sylvester although the shorter man is far more accurate and effective with his is in-and-out attack. Sylvester still using his jab well in the championship rounds. Oral takes yet another knee from body punches.

 

Round 12

Oral works his jab overtime, while Sylvester hangs just out of range and slowly inches to his right. Sylvester is able to quickly reach Oral with jabs and hooks to the body without staying too long to get hit back. Sylvester whacks Oral to either side and takes a clubbing blow to the upper back as he ducks down and clinches as usual when finishing a body attack. Oral trades jabs and of course his is slower and less sharp. He is throwing his intently, though - and tries to put a combo behind one of them. Sylvester catches everything with his gloves tucked under his chin and keeps whacking the body and tying up. Oral slaps with a right hand and is clinched. Sylvester circles on the outside and changes directions, not looking to get into any more exchanges.

 

Yeah, it was a clear win for Sylvester.

 

117-107 119-106 and 117-107 for Sylvester

 

Agreed.

If Karmazin still has enough left to beat Geale convincingly later tonight (technically Sunday afternoon in Australia) then a rematch between him and Sylvester could actually be better than most of us thought it would be.
