Coleman still looking to slip punches and find opportunities to land the one two. Nice body shot early in the round. Arnaoutis starting to figure out how to cut the ring off and fire off rapid volleys at short range, basically bullying Coleman around now. 4-3 MA
Both men looking for the body now, Mike strays low and Tim shows agony. Replay appears to show the punch landing on the beltline. Coleman milks a bit of time. Coleman rejuvenated, lands a few rights and moves out of harm's way. They tie up and Coleman punches over his own head at the taller man. Versus cuts to commercial with 15 seconds remaining. Coleman round, even again.
Coleman starts to really open up to kick off the 9th, gets a little confident and ROCKED by a stiff jab. Mike looking relaxed now, wades in with a jab (lands), a lead hook (lands), and a 1-2-3 (lands, lands, lands). Mike fakes Coleman out with a jab upstairs and then brings a left crashing into his stomach. Arnaoutis really dictating position with his jab now. Hard right-left from Mighty Mike. His best round. 5 round to 4, Arnaoutis.
Coleman is beginning to look more and more affected by Arnaoutis' punches, being moved even when blocking shots. Starts to pop back up on his toes about halfway into the round, but gunshy. Arnaoutis chasing with hard jabs. Coleman appears to be cut from a punch. 96-94 Mike Arnaoutis.
Coleman trying to lay back and catch Mike boring in. Mike using his jab as a deflector for Coleman's, throwing it at a slant to parry. Mike throwing roundhouse right hooks without much intent on them - perhaps using them as feints to get Coleman to circle into a left. Coleman getting some jabs in, looking to follow one with a right, inhales a counter left. Arnaoutis jab smashes into the left cheek of Coleman. 106-103 Mike Arnaoutis
Both guys going for broke in the last round. A Coleman jab breaks the skin over Arnaoutis' right eye; it's a gusher. Arnaoutis stuffs a left hand into Coleman's nose, he blinks it off just in time to get tagged with another combo. Coleman leads with his head and bashes Mike's nose in with the top of his skull in turn. Arnaoutis affected, eats a series of jabs in the final minute. Arnaoutis landed a few really great shots but Coleman may have stolen that one. Still, 115-113 Arnaoutis.
Official: 115-113 Coleman 116-112 Arnaoutis 115-113 Coleman SD Terrible. A couple of the rounds I gave Tim Coleman were razor thin. None of the rounds I gave Arnaoutis were. This is as incorrect as the Funeka-Guzman draw. Although, apparently, nobody else on ESB even watched it so it'll go unnoticed. :conf
Yeah, where the **** have you been? The ****ing Mayweather-Pacquiao threads can wait until there ISN'T LIVE ****ING BOXING ON. :twisted:
