Shohjahon Ergashev vs. Adrián Jaime Estrella & Vladimir Igorevich Shishkin vs. Ulises Sierra Jr. RBR

Round 7

Shishkin is overthinking it a little, dancing side to side in big kick-along gallops, floating jabs and loosely whipping rights at the head of Sierra. Lots of negativity from Sierra, who is tottering in close and then yanking himself outside with his goalposts up just in case Shishkin follows with an overhand. Sierra bending over at the waist at close range, shimmying away to reset, and reaching in to nuzzle Shishkin's cheek with his jab or flap at his temple with his own right while bowed forward.

10-9 Shishkin, ugly and boring round.

69-64 Shishkin

 

Exactly, not sure why Sugar isn't SCREAMING for body shots. Instead of just repeating "more pressure" over and over. Like yeah wtf, no shit, pressure is all Shishkin has been doing. Be more specific.

 

Round 8

Shishkin is just bashing down at Sierra's face with the right hand after walking him into the ropes, as Sierra falls into a slouch and tries either buoying himself against the ropes or diving straight in low to clinch. Shishkin almost purely headhunting, and not able to lay a jab on Sierra. Just all right hands up top, of which Sierra is able to dodge or pick off just enough to never quite find himself in dire straits.

10-9 Shishkin

79-73 Shishkin

 

This is the worst I've seen Vladimir look, and of course it has to be after I've been talking him up and convinced probably half the board to check him out. At least he looked good vs. Ware in his ShoBox debut last August..

 

Round 9

Shishkin is content to just pop the right into Sierra's waiting mitts, and watching as it gets sucked in to rest there like a softball. Moving closer, Shishkin tries a few of the windmill variety, but Sierra is too adept on the ropes at sliding along their length and stretching himself out to disperse the area of impact, all while protecting his chin. A few jabs here and there by Sierra, but largely just fighting to survive.

10-9 Shishkin

89-82 Shishkin
