Denis Shafikov vs. Rances Barthelemy Dec 18th

atsch the **** do i know?

 

Shafikov is underrated, his style is difficult for boxers.

 

Sure, but he clearly lost last night to a better man.

Rances beat him quite wide, 116-112 was fair.

 

I had it 115-113 and I think it could have been even closer. Not wide or clear at all.

 

115-113 can still be clear, ala Matthysse/Judah. Close fight, but very clear. Matthysse should have had that win.

I had this 116-112, thought it was very clear to anyone objective.

 

Not when the rounds are close.

 

I didn't see many close rounds. Thought a lot of Rances rounds were clear, same with Sha's rounds.

Maybe we saw a different fight or judged it differently depending on what we like. From how I judged it based on the 4 categories, Rances clearly won 8 rounds.

 

Shafikov knows how to get on the inside of his opponents, that's what he does. He's the shorter guy in every one of his fights and he's learnt how to do it very effectively. However, if one thing Barhtelemy should have done is what Vazquez did and clinch him. Granted with the right ref that could have worked against his favour but more times than not, it works for you.

 

Good for you, I thought some rounds were clear whilst a few could have gone either way. Don't bother me anymore please, I don't want to argue with a troll anymore.

 

That's great, put me on ignore then. No one really cares, being honest with you. You don't know too much about Boxing

 

Done. :good

 

Luckily for him, the other titlists are all boxers.
