Jean Pascal vs. Roberto Bolonti & Schiller Hyppolite vs. Norbert Nemesapati RBR

Kathy Duva announces that Steve Cunningham's daughter is doing well after her surgery. (I actually saw the news on USS' Facebook page yesterday, but this is probably the first "major (non social-) media" announcement)

 

Round 5

Theroux is slapping the sides of Gojko's body and landing jabs on the already bloody nose. Theroux is landing in succession on the body with either hand, shoveling in hard shots. Gojko is just going through motions, pantomiming a southpaw 1-2 backing up, plunging his fists into the air wide and loose. Theroux is slamming uppercuts into Gojko's hip at long range and then grazing with a 1-2 up top. Theroux chases Gojko onto the ropes with a jab and gets held as Gojko steps in to meet him.

10-9 Theroux

50-43 Theroux

 

Mike Bilodeau has it 50-43 Theroux.

 

Round 6

Theroux is landing pairs of underhanded thumps on the love handles and then jabs and cracking rights up top. Gojko is staggering under fire but stays up and moving. Theroux is smothering himself, throwing uppercuts and chopping shots up close as Gojko clinches, pries himself loose, pushes off, and runs away. Theroux is chasing with jabs.

10-9 Theroux

60-52 Theroux

 

Duva says that Cunningham vs. Glazkov isn't officially signed yet for March, but that "HBO likes the fight and it probably will happen".

 

Official cards:

LeBlanc 60-52
Procopio 60-52

UD for David Theroux

 

Schiller Hyppolite vs. Norbert Nemesapati, 12 rounds @ light heavyweight

 

This is for the vacant WBC International Silver light heavyweight title.

Bunce points out, interestingly, that for its two-year existence, thi belt has been contested four times - all four times vacant.

He then queries "Why???" - as in, why even have it exist.
