Round 1 Shumenov 10-8 Round 2 Shumenov 10-9 Round 3 Shumenov 10-9 Round 4 Shumenov 10-9 Round 5 Shumenov 10-9 Round 6 Shumenov 10-9 Round 7 Shumenov 10-9 Round 8 Shumenov 10-9 Round 9 Shumenov 10-8 Shumenov backs him into the corner, he flurries, Hizni takes a knee, he's back up, Beibut flurrying again, Hizni hauling ass, he corners him again, looping hooks, hard straight right, one two to the body, straight right to the body. Hizni survives another.
What a joke of a fight. I think Hizni didn't throw more than 2 punches in any round (started watching in the 4th round). It was pretty obvious he wasn't there to try to win, but for the payday. If he didn't take a dive, I don't know what that was.
Shu seems to get a lot of heat, but I don’t think he’s that bad on paper. He probably needs another tune up. At least he got some rounds in.
It's down to the ****** business he's had with score cards and the WBA. He's decent but how he got the decision vs Campillo or how his challengers got sanctioned, or how 1 judge had him beating Hopkins is wtf stuff
I'm so goddamn sick of hearing about the Campillo rematch tbh. Anytime some casuals start harping on him about that I just roll my eyes. None of them even realize that Shumenov deserved the nod in their first match but got jobbed on his own home soil. They ought to be 1-1 on paper and they're 1-1 in reality so for me the arithmetic all checks out fine. They cancel one another out, IMO. No cause for any sort of animus towards Beibut personally. (not that it ever ought to be considered the boxer's fault if the judges give them a technically undeserved nod in a close one)
I'm confused, didn't these two guys just fight for this belt in March? Classic WBA This content is protected
