Round 1: 10-9 Jerusalem
Round 2: 10-9 Jerusalem

20-18 Jerusalem; very close round that could have gone either way, preferred Jerusalem’s more consistent work throughout the round.

 

Round 1: 10-9 Jerusalem
Round 2: 10-9 Jerusalem
Round 3: 10-8 Jerusalem

30-26 Jerusalem; counter right hand DROPS Shigeoka. He doesn’t appear too hurt. Jerusalem can’t miss with the right. They’re trading and both men are landing good shots. Another round for the challenger!

Round 2: 10-9 Jerusalem
Round 3: 10-8 Jerusalem

Round 2: 10-9 Jerusalem
Round 3: 10-8 Jerusalem
Round 4: 10-9 Shigeoka
Round 5: 10-9 Shigeoka

48-46 Jerusalem; competitive round but a pretty clear Shigeoka round. He’s landing to the body more and may have shaken up the challenger momentarily.

Round 2: 10-9 Jerusalem
Round 3: 10-8 Jerusalem
Round 4: 10-9 Shigeoka
Round 5: 10-9 Shigeoka
Round 6: 10-8 Jerusalem

Round 3: 10-8 Jerusalem
Round 4: 10-9 Shigeoka
Round 5: 10-9 Shigeoka
Round 6: 10-8 Jerusalem
Round 7: 10-9 Jerusalem

68-63 Jerusalem; another nip and tuck affair but Jerusalem’s shots are more effective. Shigeoka needs to just go crazy to get Jerusalem off his game like Collazo did but he’s much more susceptible to these right hands.

 

These commentators are so scared of a counter everytime Shigeoka misses

Round 5: 10-9 Shigeoka

Round 6: 10-8 Jerusalem
Round 7: 10-9 Jerusalem
Round 8: 10-9 Jerusalem
Round 9: 10-9 Shigeoka

87-82 Jerusalem; Shigeoka might’ve actually outlander Jerusalem there but still a pretty close round. Shigeoka needs to win every round to eke out a draw in the official cards barring any more knockdowns.

Round 8: 10-9 Jerusalem
Round 9: 10-9 Shigeoka
Round 10: 10-9 Shigeoka
Round 11: 10-9 Shigeoka

105-102 Jerusalem; dominant Shigeoka round. Jerusalem has really slowed down but he’s still landing the big rights here and there. It will all comes down to the last round I think. If Jerusalem wins it, he’s a 2-time world champ. If he loses, Shigeoka retains it with a draw.

Round 10: 10-9 Shigeoka
Round 11: 10-9 Shigeoka
Round 12: 10-9 Shigeoka

114-112 Jerusalem; Jerusalem celebrates as the bell rings but I’m convinced this is a draw on the cards. I hope I’m wrong.
