MTK Global: Sahir Iqbal vs. Serge Ambomo & Muhammad Ali Zahid vs. Nathan Hardy RBR

Probably on the judges' cards now 20-18 for Iqbal, but could be one round apiece.

 

Ambomo got inside and meted out plenty of the rough stuff in round three.

 

Iqbal not really clued into how to box tall, it seems. Either hands down on the outside, flicking jabs weakly into the high guard, or waiting and then wrapping Ambomo up as the Cameroonian submarines in and hammers the body.

 

Slow-burn pressure clinic from the short & stocky Ambomo; he actually has swept three on the spin for me. Iqbal needs the final round to salvage a draw - but of course on the official cards is probably up 5-0.

 

58-56 Ambomo ...well, let's see...

 

Scored by referee Michael Alexander, 58-57 in favor of ...Sahir Iqbal.

 

^ Mathematically, that indicates the ref scored one round level. Probably a round I gave Ambomo...which, if Alexander had given it to him instead of copping out with a 10-10, would have made it officially a draw. Oh well.
