Fox Sports 1: Antonio Tarver vs. Mike Sheppard & Thomas Williams vs. Yusaf Mack RBR

Round 1

Williams is showing Mack lots of up and down movement, circling and pawing with the right jab. Mack extends his left to bat it down and occasionally thrusting it outward to brush the youngster's chin. Williams is speeding up as he orbits Mack clockwise, dropping in right jabs and either churning the air or just touching an upper piece of Mack's brow. Straight right hand lead by Mack, connecting between the forearms of Williams.

10-9 Mack

 

Round 2

Williams is jabbing in and slapping hard at the body of Mack on the inside. Mack bends over and counters up top with a big left hook and fishes for body shots of his own. Williams is staying in close with descending lefts across the shoulders and whipping arm-punch right hooks on the face. Mack is trying to move in and grab Williams or land a few straight body shots but gets countered with uppercuts and wobbled. Straight left by Williams. Mack gets his right glove up and crossed over his chin to push the next left away while twisting his body. A third left scores flush.

10-9 Williams

19-19

Round 3

Williams is pushing into Mack with the double right jab and clopping left from above. Mack is squatting and bowing, pushing into Williams' middle with his forearms and poking out with body shots, then slinging wide overhands as he backs out. Flush lead left half-stepping in by Williams past a Mack range-finding right on the back-foot. Williams moves in and out, catching Mack's jab on his right forearm and holding the position, then circling right before leaping in with a lead left grazing the top of the head. Slow straight flurry by Mack, caught on the guard.

10-9 Williams

29-28 Williams
