Riyadh Season WBC Boxing Grand Prix - Tournament Finals RBR, Today, Dec 20th, LIVE NOW!

WBC open scoring after six:

57-57 x1
58-56 x4

Majority for Utría, no idea how one has it a draw.

 

"¡No que tarde, no que tarde!"

Utría's corner basically yelling at him to either be first or punch at the same time as Tursunov, never second (ie "late)

 

Commentators are right, boy looks knackered. Would be utterly disastrous if Utría squandered all that momentum by gassing and getting stopped in the final round.

 

This latest cut pretty much won't be a factor as there are no more stool breaks. Tursunov's cutwoman has done a great job on that one from earlier.

 

Eighth was a solid last stand for Tursunov, caught Utría with a couple of right hands but the Colombian stayed disciplined on the jab and didn't leave too many openings.

79-73 Utría

 

Official cards:

Mansour 77-75
Pearson 77-85
Alexich 77-75
Krebs 78-74
Penick 78-74

UD for Utría

 

This interview is the first time I've seen Inoue not look like he could pass for a teenager.

Hard lines of a thirtysomething finally starting to set in his face.
