ShoBox: Jermaine Franklin, Jr. vs. Gerard Forrest & Einar Otto Wallin vs. Benjamin Flores RBR

10-9 Franklin, close

40-36 Franklin

 

Farhood has Forrest up 39-37, giving Franklin only the second.

 

Double and triple jabs by Franklin, ponderous, letting Forrest skitter out beyond reach, and then slowly chugging to life and scissoring his legs in a low-speed gallop after him. Forrest able to find a landing strip for a trickle of sneaky right jabs while dancing in and out, just a touch quicker and nimbler than. Light rabbit punch flurry by Forrest as Franklin burrows into him, dreadlocks shredding his chest. Flush left hand lead by Forrest.

10-9 Forrest

49-46 Franklin

 

It's a close, what-do-you-like sort of fight. All three ShoBox commentators have it differently. The stats they just showed onscreen bear out that Forrest is far more accurate while Franklin has thrown & landed more.

You could have a pretty wide swing of scores by now, tbh.

 

Jermaine being the boss in the sixth, throwing lots of lead rights and 1-2s, missing a ton, sloppy in his execution, but keeping Forrest shy, and making at least partial contact a majority of times, while gaining ground the rest. Franklin landing best when he spears them downstairs on a decline, scoring just above Forrest's belt. Some light windshield-wiper right jab/hooks by Forrest, jumping aside, obscuring Franklin's vision before thudding in a left cross.

Close. 10-9 Franklin, 59-55 Franklin
