Round 2

Left hook and right hand by Nyambayar, ducked. Carrazana forks a low left above the belt line. Nyambayar pumps out jabs and rights like pistons but Carrazana is blocking and bounding around him. Light right jabs by Carrazana. Right hand lead by Nyambayar splitting the gloves. Lots of shots missing by Nyambayar as Carrazana leans back and ducks to slip. Carrazana throws to the body and hits elbow, then a left hand to the forearms. Right hand by Nyambayar.

IB's score: 4-2 and 9-6 to Nyambayar.

 

Judges' scores: Even, 4-4 and 10-9 to Carrazana

 

Round 3

Nyambayar walks into a right jab. Carrazana darts in and out and pecks with the jab, quick and agile. Carrazana ducks and swoops with his guard up in front of Nyambayar, elusive. Big right jab/hook hybrid coming up out of a crouch and snapping Nyambayar's head back. Left hand to the body by Carrazana moving in and down then up and out swiftly, with a right hook on the way out. Carrazana is pressing Nyambayar back with the right jab and then leaning out of the way of Nyambayar's right hands. Carrazana tying up and letting go or spinning Nyambayar away. Right hand by Nyambayar gets through, but he's tired and winging shots.

IB's score: 5-1 to 11-10 to Carrazana.

 

That huge third saved it for Ramirez Carrazana, IMO. That was a "hit and don't get hit" clinic.

 

Judges' scores: 7-5 and 17-14 to Carrazana.

 

Robeisy's victory dance is even more entertaining than the Cossack one.

It includes push-ups and shadowboxing. :bbb :hammertime

 

If Petrauskas hadn't been robbed to the bone, we'd at least get to see him send Lomachenko off with a punishing beating to the body (even if Lomachenko ultimately won, he'd have been pissing blood until well into his ABP career :thedevil1)

Round 1

Lomachenko circles and uses body feints, making Han throw and pull his 1-2 to give away his habits. Lomachenko is watching him, looking for an opening. Very few connects. Han keeps floating his left jab out but Lomachenko is circling with enough space to stay off it. Now Lomachenko rushes in and bangs the body until Han drops his arms. Right hook by Lomachenko. More circling by Lomachenko, and he blocks a 1-2 stepping forward. Right hand to the forehead by Han. Hard left to the body by Lomachenko.

IB's score: 5-1 to Lomachenko
