TR: Ash-Shakur Nafi-Shahid Stevenson vs. Félix Caraballo & Guido Vianello vs. Donald Haynesworth RBR

Round 1

Caraballo is ducking and hurtling inward, stuffing left jabs into the face of Stevenson, who counters in twos and threes, hissing through clenched teeth. Stevenson rowing out the southpaw jab at medium-long range and then pairing it with the left in rapid combos when Caraballo manages to cut the ring off. Stevenson taps him with an uppercut on the solar plexus reaching from beneath and Caraballo's knees graze the canvas. Ruled a KD, given a belated count. Stevenson finishes up the round circling and jabbing.

10-8 Stevenson

 

Punches in the first:

Caraballo 3 of 34, 8%
Stevenson 22 of 60 , 36%

Yowza. When you're getting quadrupled in accuracy, you're getting your ass beat.

 

Round 2

Stevenson barking and ripping into Caraballo with powerful left uppercuts, putting his full body weight into them for leverage after using right jabs & elbow-thrusts into the breastplate to nudge Caraballo into perfect striking distance for the left. Caraballo very shaky in the first minute or two but manages to shake it all off and spend a bit of time in the last coming forward - only to eat some fast combos on the face without landing anything of his own.

10-9 Stevenson

20-18 Stevenson

 

Round 3

Stevenson is dancing around, luring Caraballo diagonally across the center of the ring and then pivoting off the ropes while dropping in right jabs on the jaw. Caraballo doubles up on a lead right, hyper-extending it and only grazing with the second as Stevenson backs up and then breaks lateral. Stevenson is less aggressive than in the first two rounds, getting some practice in with his jab. Caraballo walks him into a corner and hurls some roundhouses into his sides while swarming in, head lowered. Stevenson gets clear and keeps pumping out the right jab, then whips a right hook across Caraballo's ribs before he goes down - ruled a slip/trip. Carballo presses Stevenson into the ropes again but is backed off by a series of sharp body straights.

10-9 Stevenson

30-27 Stevenson
