The russian kid pressed him and was more accurate and in better shape. I had cuban 1st round and russian won 2 and 3
Cuba's going to end up doing fine without him, they weren't pinning all their hopes for gold on him or anything but still a little surprising. He beat that Russian twice before.
The russian team had a good plan. Were going to the body and pressing. Almost running at the cuban in first round. It wasnt sn easy fighht but it doesnt mean hes beating ragan. Whoever has better timing will win it. The cuban dude was alot better at lightweight who davis has to face. He had speed of hand and food, good defense, and power. The brazilian kid he beat was good. Ragan russian 50/50 in my opinion. Whoever steps up. I read a little on that russian kid. Hes already doing 10 round pro fights. That cuban cat just moved and was fast. He had no power. I couldnt tell if he was landing or not. Russian head wasnt moving at all. I think ragan has power and clean punching but i think the russian has better stamina.
Seen a lot of guys get gift decisions. Judges seem to be similar to pro judges in that they only give points to guys slugging and coming forward. I thought Gal Yafai was eating clean punches and getting out boxed by Veitia, but was given a solid decision. There's no way Torrez beat Pero, he'd already gotten his arse whooped enough for a lead. I thought Machado was also landing cleanly enough to get the decision over Ben, but he won off of his flash. Garside was also eating a lot of clean hooks from Safiullin, but he's going to get schooled by ACG.
Kurt Walker flat out got a gift decision. Mirza was cooking him inside and was wobbling him with hooks.
I liked that Finnish chick from yesterday. She had a really authoritive jab. These first couple of fights have been pretty trash.
