That's the way I see it too. Ekpo is being too pu**y. You don't beat the champ with that kind of fighting spirit.
Just tuned in, Stieglitz got the 9th pretty clearly. Ekpo's fighting a terrible style of fight to win as a visiting fighter. I don't know if he was just taking a round off, but I hope so. You've gotta let your hands go more if you're the visitor.
rnd 10 stigz leads with left, looping right misses by ekpo, stigz cant close gap without being tied up, jab lands stigz, returned by ekpo, ekpo got real neg, shelling up, looping left by ekpo missing, left to body by stglitz, 5-5
rnd 11 ekpo still tricky to hit, left landed by ekpo as stigz moves in, stigz leading left, ekpo overh right, jab jab stgz, right sneaks in stgltz, left jab the right by ekpo, another ohand right ekpo, even rnd 5 -5 -1
terrible championship round fighting strategy by ekpo. he's getting outlanded and outworked the last 3 rounds
8-4 Stieglitz ( at a push 7-5), i'm expecting the judges to have it wider like 11-1 or 10-2. **** fight TBH.
I hope this was the last time I see Ekpo fighting. He was awful with his negative style. Stieglitz 11-1/ 119-109
rnd 12, better tempo, still good defensive footwork by ekpo, but nil attack , stzltz cant hit the guy, good effort by ekpo defnsively needs an attack tho, stglitz shows his serikous limitations drawn rnd 5 - 5- 2 hometown edge stigltz MD
