    It's near enough and Nolan got a gift decision , no way he won the first and last round .

    Ya I was thinking the same thing but didn't right that. I honestly never understand the angles or tactics for lefty vs lefty fights. Sometimes I actually think those types of fights favor hooker, which would give spencer the advantage. But like I said wtf do I know.

    Spencer spent the whole fight loading up , wrong style for the Ams , he won't go far . The Russian's much better , he won't past him .

    Spence Jr's gonna clean house, I guarantee it it!

    Ramirez didn't impress much, but I suppose that the opposition was different.

    Terrell needs to make some improvements, but hopefully he won't have an opponent who has a height advantage.

    I wouldn't necessarily say that he won't go far. But ya he doesn't have the best style for the am. He's got good defense and picks his shots well though. That will serve him well in the pros. Future champ IMO.

    jab as much as possible. the channel is clear for a jab. the right shoulder is up to block the counter left.

    Nolan is dangerous for pretty much anyone in the division, because of his height and his awkwardness. Plus the scoring system seems to love his style - God knows why, because I think it's as ugly as sin.

    This south african's style is nearly identical to Mathebula's, sloppy, but accurate, and leaves himself open.

    If Spence gets past Vikas and Zamkovoy/Nolan and makes the SF he'll probably fight Kazakh Sapiyev who is simply too asian and too slick.

    Ya I like his style but too bad he's a little too crude to get the win.
