Dude has an unbreakable chin and not much else

 

Well over to Braekhus.

 

Well, there you go, corner stoppage.

That was the Bena of old there, but it sure took long enough. His accuracy is total shyte right now. With the exception of those nice body shots, he was just trying to punch through his opponent's gloves all night. Probably due to ring rust, though. Nice to see those fast flurries again.

I sure hope he moves to 175. There are some fascineting matchups to be had there.

 

DB is speeding, and he keeps dabbing at his nose. Not saying he is doing anything, but I hope he's not showing shades of Aaron Pryor.

 

The coke kept him away from the rona

 

McCaskill wins by MD.
Fun fight.

 

I could not see much of the women's fight due to a bad stream, but seems to me that Cecilia did not box from distance as she should have done. And why 10 rounds only? 12 rounds (or 3 minute rounds) and I think she might have won it. Nevertheless, an era within women's boxing is over. At 38, not sure if she'll manage to come back from this. Guess we'll see Taylor - McCaskill now (unless Persoon wins by KO), and maybe Brækhus gets a chance to meet the winner of that fight?

 

No idea why they thought 2 minutes for 10 rounds was the correct choice.

 

Wow, Braekus finally lost.

 

 

Perhaps the referee's mask slipped and obscured his view?

 

Kauffman looks like he's sticking to his word :

“I’m done. I’m retiring. I have kids. I’ve been doing this a long time."

 

Here you can see the entire 5 minutes Walker takes to recover.

EDIT:
I'm going to rewatch this later, but I remember thinking the corner should have pulled their man out anytime from that shot in the 9th through the 12th round, it was clear the ref was doing everything in his power to keep Walker up through the end, including randomly docking Madrimov a point for low blows in the 12th. Here's the scene right after the fight before the cards were read.

 

Well, no matter what else, there's absolutely no justification for giving Walker 5 minutes.

And then wanting to go to the cards..

And then warning Madrimov "No more rough stuff." !

Crooked ref.

 

I didn't catch this fight. Does anyone think Madrimov looks painfully small in there?

 

The only viable explanation for why he took so long to get up is the punch landed.

 

Over a minute after the shot he is sitting in the corner and tells the doctor he is dizzy.

 

Just caught up with this. Madrimov fight was great, and totally crazy.

God knows what the ref was doing.

Didn't give the knockdown

then gave 5 mins rest despite there not being a foul

asked if he wanted to go to the cards

let Walker take a beating at the end

suspect point deduction

Held onto Walker like he was his sweetheart during the score announcement.


He was either nuts or corrupt. Terrible refereeing.
