114-113 Hiraoka for me, but a lot of close rounds. Would watch a rematch. Official scores too wide for me.
I have it 4-4 in rounds but Hiraoka's have been bigger and he's starting to take over, and has looked the more dangerous all fight.
Not yet ready to compare Smith and Mosley. Call me pedantic
Shades of Mosley Margarito, albeit a significantly lower level obviously
I felt the exact same. Difference between Matias taking his time and getting roughed up. Smith went high risk high reward, incredible fight!
Matias looked a little hurt at the end of that round.
I'm out, night all
Set up or Joshua has utterly gone. He's boxing more sensibly than he did against Dubois for crying out loud
And maybe Anne Sophie Mathis too? She was tough as old boots and could punch
Pretty crap fight after round 4 (?) really. Roach fiddled and faffed, Cruz couldn't impose himself and his body language said all you need to...
That's my score too
Would love to see it. Espinoza would win late or on points I think...what do you reckon?
Khegai has him right where he wants him :rosstheboss
I would go 1. Crawford - reading the situation, blocking, always assessing what's coming at him 2. Usyk - head movement 3. Beterbiev - does good...
He looks at his best when the opponent stands in front of him and lets him rip quick combinations. He was poor going back the way in this one,...
