About to have a look at your middleweight Biggs kid.

His quarterfinal bout starts about three hours into this video:

I'm glad Biggs put the Aussie flag bit on his thighs, because otherwise they're both wearing gold trunks with green trim...and both lean white dudes with short-cropped brown hair wearing gold and white sneakers.

I suppose Frolov's also southpaw and has a beard going, that would've helped telling apart.

 

Frolov tried getting cute, throwing a fake-out right jab up top as he ducked in and tried for some burgling downstairs - and Biggs smashed him with a few on the mug for his troubles.

 

This is much better viewing than Pomerlau vs. Rybalko was up until the KO.

 

Frolov had a glove touch down on the canvas but they used instant replay to determine it was him going off-balance and slipping, not a knockdown.

 

WBC open scoring:

20-18 x2 for Biggs
1 judge 19-19 even (giving Frolov the second)

 

Commentators think Frolov edged round three... if so that pulls him ahead on a single card, but still trailing by a point on the other two at the halfway mark.

 

Claudia says Biggs waiting too much. It's true, not exactly being the master of his own destiny. Frolov was diving in a lot earlier giving counter opportunities, being pickier now.

 

Could see it being level through four. Ukrainian's been making the fight the last couple of rounds, darting in & out, landing, clinching, and rappelling away.

 

WBC open scoring through four:

40-36 gold corner (Biggs)
39-37 gold corner (Biggs)
39-37 green corner (Frolov)

 

OI!

Frolov was winning the 5th, making a messy brawl of it, and Biggs while backing up stopped on a dime, doinked him with what looked to be a quick short right hand through the gloves and dropped him with less than a minute left. That's a difference maker!

10-8 Biggs, really wins it for him with just a round to go - unless Frolov can return the favor and then some.

 

Frolov mauling in mad desperation, really all he can do...although it risks being KTFO.

 

Thanks for playing, Frolov. This is surely a unanimous decision for Biggs. (even with that one judge giving Frolov rounds 2-4...extra knockdown point tips it)

 

Official cards:

59-54
57-56
58-55

UD for Biggs, into the semis.

 

FFS, they literally have a different Itauma vs. Whyte promo segment for every between fight break. Give it a rest already!

Do they really think people who tuned in for THIS aren't the sort of diehards that will definitely be watching that one?
