Gennady Golovkin vs. Osumanu Adama RBR

Round 6

Fletcher is forced to hop outside by a double hook on the body. Bursak smothers Fletcher into the ropes. Fletcher is examining his chest and swiping at it with either glove - maybe dripping blood from his nose? Bursak surprisingly waits a pace off, showing a bit of sportsmanship rather than exploiting Fletcher's moment of distraction. It turns out Fletcher does have a bad cut on his right eyebrow, leaking into his field of vision. Christodoulou has a look and says to continue. Bursak is drawing Fletcher into a firefight at mid-range, throwing stiff jabs and hard chopping overhand rights. Fletcher is pumping the 1-2 and dancing further out. Body shot by Fletcher. Clinch. Hook on the ear by Bursak. Fletcher presses into him and nearly chest-bumps him off balance, on his heels, before Bursak wraps his arms around Fletcher's back.

10-9 Bursak

57-56 Bursak

 

No, he doesn't.

Nick Blackwell did knock Bursak down, but I think Fletcher lacks even Blackwell's pop.

 

The cut was from a headbutt in the sixth, this one actually was accidental unlike some of Bursak's earlier butts.

 

Take half a point from Jarrod, then, because he is letting Bursak snare him into so much filthy infighting.

 

Round 7

Bursak is walking past Fletcher's left jab and 1-2 and hacking down with the right across Fletcher's face. They are tying up and releasing quickly after each sequence. Fletcher is starting to line up the jab and 1-2 on the way in and out of clinches, scoring more. Fletcher sweeps in a few waistline shots. Fletcher loops a right, grazing the back of Bursak's head as he ducks in to clinch.

10-9 Fletcher

66-66
