    And it looks like the Caparello UD is coming straight forward. I am ****ed in the prediction league. Next big miss.

    4 - Caparello is finding success with the lunging body shot jab, whether it be on the front foot or countering. They’re not devastating shots but they’re scoring shots. Chilemba looking to exchange, and just hit Caparello with a nice right hand. He’s scored with 3 or 4 nice shots this rounds. Best exchange of the fight at the end of this round, with Chilemba getting the best of it. 10-9 Chilemba, 39-37 Caparello

    5 - Blake counters beautifully at the start of the round. Chilemba still coming out more aggressively and starting to be the fighter controlling the ring, however Caparello looks comfortable on the back foot. More tying up this round as Chilemba comes forward. WBC scoring revealed through 4. Two judges have it 39-37, one has it 40-36. Cagey round, I think I’d go Caparello, 10-9. 49-46 Caparello

    6 - Chilemba starting to come into it and is connecting more to start the round. Caparello is probably going to win this fight on the back foot if this continues. Chilemba’s pressure is starting to dictate how the fight will be fought but I’m not sure that his pressure can overcome Caparello’s counters. Closest round of the fight for me, I think I’d go 10-9 Chilemba, 58-56 Caparello

    7 - Chilemba pressing even harder forward, but Caparello is showing quick footwork. He’d starting to counter at a lesser rate, possibly due to fatigue, and that might be because of how Chilemba has forced him to run around the ring. Great exchange at the end of the round. Both land significant shots. I think Caparello gets one last shot in before the bell and steals the round. 10-9 Caparello, 68-65 Chilemba but this was close

    8 - Both fighters trying to fight in a bit closer. Chilemba jabbing with great success in this round. Caparello’s offensive work rate is really starting to fall. Chilemba far more active this round, and this is the most definitive Chilemba round of the fight so far IMO. Chilemba snaps Caparello’s head back with a jab. Definitely a Chilemba round, 10-9. 77-75 Caparello. Updated judges’ cards coming soon.

    9 - Caparello looks like he’s trying to dictate the pace and positioning of the fight again but he just gets absolutely walloped by a Chilemba counter. Caparello lands his nicest counter punch in a few rounds but Chilemba has way more power on his punches and lands a few uppercuts to end the round. WBC official cards Chilemba 77-75 on one card and 77-75 Caparello on two cards. Chilemba 10-9 in that last round for me, 86-85 Caparello

    10 - Looks like Caparello has given up on the plan to reassert ring generalship as Chilemba is definitely controlling the pace and positioning of the fight. This fight has gone from what looked like an easy win for Caparello to what looks like a certain win for Chilemba if this continues. He’s landing with the jab continuously and mixing in some beautiful uppercuts. Caparello is gassed and the crowd is totally dead after they were roaring to start the fight. Nervous energy in the air and I think Chilemba has to have won that round. 10–9 Chilemba, 95-95

    11 - Chilemba continues dictating where this fight will be fought. Caparello lands some counters but Chilemba lands himself on the front foot. Chilemba has totally reddened Caparello’s face with his jabbing. Caparello going back to his lunging jabs to the body and he’s scoring but he looks exhausted compared to Chielmna. He’s throwing a lot and missing. Chilemba nails Caparello with an uppercut as he goes in for a body shot. Really close round. I go Chilemba 10-9, 105-104 Chilemba but I bet the judges have it 10-9 Caparello lol

    12 - Caparello comes out much more aggressively to start but within 30 seconds he’s back on the back foot. Chilemba hits him with another uppercut. Caparello gets Chilemba back with some counters. Chilemba starts to let his hands go as the round dwindles down. Chilemba has had the best work of the round, totally dominating the last half of the round with jabs and uppercuts. 10-9 Chilemba, 115-113 Chilemba for me. Judges scores coming soon
