Riyadh Season WBC Boxing Grand Prix - Tournament Details, Preview, Round By Round & Results!

Tursunov has made an important adjustment...staying just beyond Cabrera's reach and making him lunge. Cabrera losing his way a bit, chasing in with lead left hooks and open-palmed slap-down rights, little steam on them, missing badly - just desperate to make contact again.

And there's a low blow from Cabrera.

 

4th was clear for Tursunov, he's now the one driving forward and being the boss.

 

WBC open scoring:

38-37 x3, unanimous for the gold corner (Tursunov)

 

Bap-bap-bap-bap-bap...barking body shot five piece lands for Tursunov, and Cabrera swings in a single pendulum in response - and goes low with it. Tursunov acts hurt but Laurence Cole waves it off and says to fight.

 

It seems like for the whole 4th & 5th it's been Cabrera's mission to repay Tursunov for every blow from the 2nd & 3rd.

1st round was the only period of gonadal ceasefire.

 

Cabrera having a good rally in the sixth, plowing forward and slamming down with right hands...Tursunov maybe tired.

 

Cabrera's cut was clearly caused by Tursunov jumping in, leading with his head, as shown by replay. Not that it will affect the outcome.

 

Official cards:

Dawson 58-55
Krebs 57-56
Fiona 57-56

UD for Tursunov

 

Lozan is gonna box Tursunov's head off. Tursunov is a pressure fighter in the same mold as Toltayev, but smaller and less good at just about everything.

 

Fiorenzo Priolo (Italy, 11-0) vs. Ntethelelo Eric Nkosi (South Africa, 9-2), 6 rounds @ super lightweight

 

This will determine Utría's opponent.

 

Priolo looking very sharp early. Nkosi looks...how you'd expect of somebody that was 7-2 when they first left the confines of South Africa's domestic scene.

 

20-18 Priolo, hitting and not getting touched back (aside from incidental grazing hooks while he's mid-combo)

 

WBC open scoring:

20-18 green corner (Nkosi )
19-19 x2

That's bonkers, one judge seriously hasn't given Priolo either round?

 

Claudia Trejos reports that Priolo's corner was also shocked to hear that he was down on the cards.
