Olawale Afolabi vs. Victor Emilio Ramírez RBR

That is very true, actually.

Horrible version of Povetkin, but still, Huck was indeed robbed.

 

Round 7

Ramírez is throwing HARD left jabs into Afolabi's face and pressing with pinball-launcher rights on the chest. Afolabi is throwing weak uppercutting flurries while standing in the pocket and shoving Ramírez off. Ramírez is catching Afolabi's up-jabs from the thigh and countering with his 1-2 up top, making Afolabi turn away. Ramírez is catching Afolabi's jabs on his high guard and grinding his way in. Left hook on the body by Afolabi. Right hand up top by Ramírez. Afolabi is carrying both arms low, getting the measure of Ramírez, tossing a jab from down by his ankle and popping in a right hand lazily. Ramírez is keeping his guard up, not giving Afolabi much of a clean palette to counter upon but getting outworked.

10-9 Ramírez, closer

70-63 Ramírez

 

The unofficial TyC Sports commentator has it 68-65 Ramírez, giving Afolabi the seventh.

 

That's what is called an "improvement round". Common scoring pitfall. :yep

 

Round 8

Ramírez is pumping in jabs and crosses on the face while backing away. Afolabi is keeping his left arm curled up over his face and winging in rights, but getting countered with HARD 1-2s by Ramírez. Afolabi starting to slouch a bit. Afolabi has one heck of a chin!! Ramírez is landing full-power one-twos!! Afolabi trades with him with loosey-goosey jabs and uppercuts. Ramírez is landing straight BOMBS! Afolabi is rocked by a jab and looping right, but stays upright! How is Afolabi standing?!?!

10-9 Ramírez

80-72 Ramírez
