might be close.
think cuba is the winner

 

Great fight. Good comeback in the last round from Dos Santos but not enough to close the gap.

 

"18-15 in the blue corner form cuba"

good scores

 

That was class at the end of the round from Ramanov, hurt the Turk.

 

Turks body language is not good.

 

Very one sided fight. The Turk seemed to want out after the 1st round.

 

****ing in the bushes intro nice. Micky approves. I like Yeleussinov alot

1st rd Yeleussinov was a little predictable throwing almost nothing but his 1,2's but was effective 5-2.

2nd much better round 7-3 Yeleussinov

19-10 Yeleussinov wins easy


HUN Kate vs Mangiacapre ITL next

 

Really nice display of boxing from Yeleussinov, even fighting Toulutibanti's fight in the last round.

 

This Italian is a slick mofo, must be a nightmare to fight.

 

The Italian Naz wins big

 

8-6 3rd round for Mangiacapre wtf? Kate ****ed him up in the 3rd round. I thought he may have overcome the 4 points he was down by going into he 3rd and they score it for the Italian.

Meng looked impressive in his first fight im interested to see how he does against Falcao.

 

It's insane how quick the Cubans are even at the heavier weights.

 

What'sup with the Hooper vs Mekhontsev match? Why Isn't the result in yet?

 

Nm, first round just in.
Can't watch myself. A brief report would be appreciated.

 

Rd 1 -4-2 Mekhontsev - my score 6-4 M

rd 2 - 6-3 Mekhontsev -MS 7-4 M

rd 3 -9-6 Mekhontsev - MS 10-6 M

Mekhontsev gave Hooper a standing 8 in round 3. Some amazing ****ing exchanges in the last minute

Final - 19-11 Mekhontsev - MS 23-14 Mekhontsev

Mekhontsev is a great counter puncher who always throws in combination. Any time Hooper opened up he would usually miss but even when he did land it was a single shot and Mekhontsev would counter with a hard and fast 3-5 punch combination.
