I actually don't think that highly of his performance. He really needs to get a lot of work in on defense. His chin looks a bit suspect as well. He's a good fighter but I don't see him being elite.
Worse case, George will get a draw in this fight. All three judges are from Illinois and he's the hometown boy. I had it 76-75 but the judges will be wider I think.
Yeah he got it. I think he deserved it (although I missed some parts of the fight), plus he had the knockdown.
I've said this else where, and I've now seen George three time, twice live. He won't be an elite fighter. He didn't progress much from the last time I saw him fight Naugler in November. He really isn't improving and his needs a lot more road work. George was gassing bad in the last round and 1/2.
I missed parts of the fight as well so I took the commentators opinion that they split the first two rounds.
