Round 5 Fielding is peppering Fedotovs with light single jabs and long snowball rights on the back of the scalp. Fielding ducks in and works the midsection with short prodding shots, no leverage. Fedotovs is falling away in exaggerated fashion, letting his full weight drop onto his back heel, crossing his arms to block, leaning to either side and craning his neck, playing possum and pawing out with jabs. Double jab forked into the belly and slapping right on the flanks by Fielding. 10-9 Fielding 50-45 Fielding
I am assuming we will get the old "I wanted to get some rounds under my belt" from Fielding instead of being honest and saying "that was awful".
Round 6 Fielding is lobbing right hands up top and landing flush on Fedotovs' third eye but not so much as stunning him, even as sweat is sent flying off his balding pate. Fedotovs is working light jabs into Fielding like a pincushion while dancing around him, ducking and turning partly away when he sees a bomb coming. Everything worked in singles by Fielding, sometimes using the jab to set up a long telegraphed brushing right hand. 10-9 Fielding 60-54 Fielding
Yeah I'm serious AA is a shell of what he used to be. Paul is okay but let's not get carried away about him not completely losing the first time around.
Round 7 Fielding is jabbing into Fedotovs' guard and drifting out in either direction, popping in a right after each few steps. Fedotovs is partially blocking everything no matter which angles Fielding comes in from. Fedotovs has the left arm low and the right glove nestled up by his chin, rocking like a maritime vessel on mostly calm waters at mid-range, only affected by the body shots of Fielding which again come only once at a go. Fedotovos is landing up top with grazing counter overhand rights when Fielding tries too much headhunting or steps in behind a lazy jab without retracting into position. 10-9 Fielding 70-63 Fielding
Abraham is a shell of himself and was never really a good super middleweight. Smigga is even further away from world class at 168lb than Abraham is/was. It's just that Fielding is yet a level down from that. He's maybe top 5 domestic. And then again maybe not.
Round 8 Fielding is rolling his left arm in place and then reaching out with light jabs. Long right hands by Fielding, crashing in waves on Fedotovs' hunched left shoulder. Counter flurries jumping in by Fedotovs, hushing Fielding. Fedotovs is able to freeze Fielding when he comes at him with a couple of jabs strung together. Fedotovs doesn't take much advantage of his positioning on the inside, just bending over to one side and swatting blindly with some hooks. Rabbit punch by Fielding. Jabs by Fielding as Fedotovs backs out. Clinch. Jabs into the guard by Fielding. 10-9 Fielding 80-72 Fielding
i have it 80-72 for the 'former undefeated' Fedetov, simply because Adrian Balboa is a better fighter than Rocky Fielding.
