ShoBox: Dominic Wade vs. Sam Soliman RBR

Round 6

Soliman is shooting jabs into the gut and giving Wade's ribs a quick brush with an uppercut while circling to his right. Soliman is staying in Wade's chest and getting clapped on the back with both of Wade's arms. Soliman is rolling fist over fist and using some very awkward herky-jerky upper body & head movement, often when there is nothing coming from Wade. Soliman is perplexing Wade, not having to fire a lot to keep Wade quiet and outscore him. Wade falls in, leading with a headbutt, and catches Soliman in a bear hug before tossing him onto the mat just before the bell. HARD slam. Jack Reiss should've docked a point from Wade.

10-9 Soliman

58-55 Soliman

 

Replay showed a blocked punch. Soliman was just awkwardly off-balance, and the force the blocked shot messed with his footing.

 

Dear Al Haymon,

Don't waste any more of your time-buy airtime on Wade. Please & thank you.

 

Round 7

Soliman is doubling his jab from outside, pecking with it while pulling his neck back. Wade is starting to line up and time his 1-2 and bean Soliman on the grill. Soliman is undeterred, staying inside, grappling, pushing Wade into the ropes, working uppercuts on the body. Wade is again successful with the 1-2 but just barely working for entire stretches of a minute.

10-9 Soliman, but closer

68-64 Soliman

 

Soliman told by his corner he is winning this handily.

 

Power stats in the seventh:

Wade 4 of 11

Soliman 10 of 28

 

Round 8

Soliman is pushing the double jab and running behind it to add emphasis. Wade is stepping back and readying himself to counter but not pulling trigger much. When he does, Wade is able to plant a jab on Soliman's forehead and follow with a long uppercut, but just too much of a lopsided edge in activity for Soliman.

10-9 Soliman

78-73 Soliman
