Akhmadaliev wins a 12 round SD.

Rounds 4&6 were close enough to go either way imo. Not a SD type fight. Clear MJ win imo.

Roman showing nice head-movement, a respectable willingness to trade and decent speed early on. Anyways, he ain't what we're focusing on now. Akhmadaliev... Wow! This kid's the goods. Seemingly good power, quick hands and feet, nice reflexes and all-round athleticsm, good fundamentals, very good gas tank and now he's shown he can put them all together and beat a top opponent. He seemed to improve as the fight progressed too, he was on Roman like a swarm of bees in the last few rounds.

I love the Uzbek style too, If were up to me, I'd give Muro a chance to fine tune his skills, then after a couple more fights this year, I'd wanna see the Navarrete fight. What a war that would be!

 

The bad thing about Farmer losing? That even @CST80 will have to admit (unless you disagree with the following premise)...

He may not be as much of a h2h force overall (as in I think he beats fewer contenders than does Tank...far too many close matchups w/ decisions that might or might not swing Farmer's way, as opposed to Davis just smashing people up) but I do think Farmer had the style to have made good on his years of boasting of being the guy to snatch Davis' zero. I call that 60-40 in favor of Idol schooling Tank. Now he's back of the line, far removed from getting a crack at him...meaning Tank will continue winning and he and his army of hypers will just get more and more insufferable.

 

Tank would knock him out of the ring.

 

It would have been the easiest 5M Tank ever made.

 

Maybe. Tank did just look ****ing dire and went 12 against a shot, one-legged, glass-chinned, FW who has youthful style though... So I'm not sure Tank destroys anybody. I'm not sure Tank is top 5 at LW. Loma, Campbell, Hang, Lopez & Commey beat Gamboa much easier than that.

 

Gamboa is bigger than Tevin and I doubt Tank really had a good camp. He still managed to put Gamboa out more brutally than Crawford or anyone else.

 

Eh he still looked like shite in doing so. And it was a much much worse version of Gamboa too.

 

Gamboa's chin <<< Farmer's

 

And Tank looked great in his two or three fights before that.

 

Just watched Roman v Akhmadaliev. Found it quite a hard fight to score personally. My scorecard.

Akhmadaliev 115-113.

A lot of close rounds in there I feel. Scores in this fight could range from close to wide as it was that sort of fight.
