There was never a doubt in my mind that Fulton was the best 122 lber.

 

The only round I can give Akhmadaliev is the 4th. He is completely flummoxed by a southpaw stance and a quasi-Philly shell.

 

6 - 1 Tapales

Enjoyable round. Nice whiskers on both men.

 

Identical card, could swing round 4

 

Now I can give him two rounds...barely.

 

Heating up a bit now -- Akhmadaliev
has to start trading

 

Tap totally cool under pressure. Might have lost that round, might have won it but still seems like he is in control.

This one turning into a thriller.

 

Yet another example of why Southpaw vs southpaw matches are so difficult to predict, seems like akhmadaliev just can't get into a rhythm and find his range.

 

7 - 1 Tapales
