Marco Huck vs. Olawale Afolabi III RBR

Barely.

It was an illusory round, meaning Woge did a lot better than in previous rounds and landed a lot more - that often tricks people into automatically giving someone the round. You shouldn't view rounds in the context of their predecessors, though. Don't say Boxer A deserves a round because his work vastly improved from the few before it. You still compare it against Boxer B's and treat the round as its own isolated body of work from both.

Sęk did land more, still, in the 7th. Granted it was pit-pat nothing stuff, especially compared to Woge's slams, but enough of a numerical edge to still nick it.

 

Round 9

Sęk is backing up, slowing to let Woge catch up and leaving trailers of jabs and hooks for him. The left reaches across the gap as Sęk turns his head away, carefully placing his feet where needed to effectively handcuff Woge. Wild roundhouse hooks swung up and down by Woge from very far outside, no rhyme or reason to his attacks nor attempts to cut the ring off intelligently.

10-9 Sęk

87-83 Sęk

 

Round 10

Sęk is backing up and putting together light combinations: right hook, left hand; left-right straights, standard southpaw 1-2s. Woge is moseying in and casually whipping the right hand over the top and pushing it out straight. Hooks and chopping rights by Woge. Sęk complains about some punches getting around behind his neck as he leaned on the ropes to slip them. Woge just keeps punching. Protect yourself at all times.

10-9 Woge, barely. Pilfered in the last minute; Sęk didn't put enough of a stamp on it and left the door ajar.

96-93 Sęk

 

Round 11

They pause to look at Sęk's cut. Vaginally shaped gouge on the left cheekbone. It's cleared. Sęk is starting faster than ever, stepping into Woge with the 1-2. Sęk circles right, keeping the 1-2 flowing. Jabs into the guard by Sęk, keeping Woge from opening up. Why is Woge respecting his power all of a sudden? Sharp but feathery left hand leads by Sęk, thrown with precision and correct form but not making a dent (partly owing to his lack of pop and perhaps in part to Woge having considerable resistance). Sęk is complaining as Woge whips shots in from outside, landing behind the ears and making Sęk pay whenever he ducks or lowers his chin whatsoever. Woge is beginning to land hooks in succession. Sęk's defense is coming apart. He looks wobbly, but escapes.

10-9 Woge

105-103 Sęk

 

For me Woge needs another knockdown in the 12th just to get a draw.

 

Round 12

Sęk is circling wide, putting in the double right jab and flapping the left glove across Woge's widow's peak. Plenty of space between them as Sęk makes haste. Sęk is cracked by a short right hand while leaning on the ropes. Woge is slapping with hooks, caught on the back of Sęk's right glove. Sęk has no time to generate a counter while blocking and twisting away, ever with his legs scissoring toward safety and glancing in his periphery to steer clear of corners. Sęk is putting in double jabs and clinching. Flush straight right by Woge as Sęk opens his arms for another grab. Sęk leaves his right arm draped around the back of Woge's neck. Heavy right hands by Woge putting Sęk on the ropes.

10-9 Woge

114-113 Sęk

 

Next!
