beIN Sports Español: Isaac Dogboe vs. César Juárez & Abraham Tabul vs. Patrick Ferguson RBR

Round 2

Pérez is juking to either side, like the contents of a snowglobe rattling against the invisible glass walls. Pérez looking for a punching angle, but can't find it yet. Álvarez then all of a sudden HANDS IT TO HIM ON A SILVER PLATTER! Álvarez lazily steps inside without committing to his 1-2, just taking his time going through motions and pulling his arms up from an inert position by his sides, takes a HUGE overhand right on the kisser, and is bowled over.

KO2!!

 

The puncher beat the boxer, and rather easily at that. If he wasn't such a dunce Álvarez could have probably cruised to a dance and pot-shot UD.

On the other hand Bombardero seems to pack very serious power - although going by his record (two KO1 losses) he appears to be a bit of a glass cannon.

 

Just checking into their promotional histories, and it turns out Zurdo was the house fighter. Bombardero was a free agent, but got snapped up by Zanfer (aka Top Rank's partner in Mexico) as reward for this KO.

 

So, I remember reading that if he beat Tabul, it would push "The Fury" into the WBO rankings...but with the draw, where does that leave him? Still just hovering right outside, like a dingleberry? Is that considered a push, or do sanctioning bodies consider a draw a positive (but obviously lesser) result than a W?

Drawing with an unranked guy can't have more than a minuscule effect on your own positioning, I wouldn't imagine. What about drawing with a ranked guy, though? Both stay the same?

Did the draw with GGG leave Canelo exactly where he was?

All this time and there's still stuff about this sport I puzzle over.
