    We are in round 8 but it still feels like a feel out round with both trying to find their range and looking to establish the jab, someone has to to take the initiative here and take some risks

    Neither did Robert Helenius. Wilder doesn't try to take peoples' heads off in sparring.

    Ajagba could take this guy out. He just needs to throw.

    Shaw does one cool thing per round, and it's really cool, but he needs to land regular punches too and he just doesn't do much of that.

    I'm dozing off. Shaw is stinking it up.

    Maybe Shaw is just a guy with a sparing partner's mentality?

    I was watching the game on TV and the fights on my laptop.

    Great comeback.

    Round 8
    More of the same, seems like Ajagba could really take it to Shaw now. Shaw for reasons I'm not entirely clear on, is intent on just surviving it seems.
    10-9 Ajagba
    78-74 Ajagba

    it really does feel like a sparring session. I wasn't expecting Lyle v Foreman but still..

    Exactly. He just isn't doing enough. Needs a KO to win at this point.
