58-57 Robinson. Sexton round for me. Did quite a bit of damage to the body, hurt Robinson a couple of times.
Poor advise from Dave in the corner. Sexton doesn't need to back off, he needs to back him up and smother him.
Agreed step to Robinson bang to body and head and turn off at angle. Keep him turning onto shots and work from middle of ring. He's backed up far to much allowing Robinson to take him onto ropes and work away. He's wasted energy moving and he's hardly created any openings. My advise would of been go to him keep it basic work off jab and use 2-3 punches and off at angle and then now and then lil steps back draw Robinson's lead and land counters over top as fight goes on.
Sexton may have just sealed the deal on the official scorecards, unless he blows it big in the last frame. It's highly doubtful Robinson wins a close one.
Sexton will get the nod, 77-76 or 78-74ish. Post fight he'll come out with the old chesnut of "I fight to my opponents level" etc
Commentators are cleared bigging up mediocracy of the house fighter. Sexton is a hype job and he cant live up to the hype.
