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

Approximately, yeah. A little after noon British time/11pm local time in NSW, probably closer to half past the hour.

 

:ldevil

 

Round 6

Williams is doubling the right jab from outside and then surrendering his reach advantage to walk Mack into the ropes and smother him while unwinding right hooks and tossing down pendulous lefts on the belt line. Mack is sticking the left jab high to catch Williams' right and telegraphing his right cross, never quite doing anything more with it than scrub Williams' chest with it.

10-9 Williams

59-55 Williams

 

Tommy Boy is coasting here. This was a 'statement' opportunity...

 

Round 7

Williams is doubling the jab and firing the left uppercut as he moves in. Mack is covering and pushing out with his bundled arms, throwing a few defensive jabs but getting physically slid around the ring by the young man's combination punching and more aggressive demeanor and in-and-out-and-in-some-more footwork gaining him more and more ground by increments.

10-9 Williams

69-64 Williams

 

Round 8

Williams is looping in lefts and following with the right jab, trying to trick Mack into leaving an opening for a clean face shot. Mack does a competent job of moving his arms where they need to be to at least absorb some of Williams' combinations, but never gets much of a chance to counter. Williams is circling on his toes, skipping around Mack and then moseying in with three punch combinations, some of them creatively put together, but nothing fooling the vet enough to penetrate his defenses and rock him.

10-9 Williams

79-73 Williams
