Good fight from Mattias and Jukembayev. Mattias mostly in control, then gets stunned in the 7th, and it seemed to make him angry and motivate him to come out hard for the 8th. Jukem takes a beating that round and his corner retires him at the bell.
Mattias was too powerful and also had more punches to work with....Jukem was mostly left cross only and couldnt do anything in close.
What was going on with Mattias's lose to Anyanan? He's beaten up guys better than him, before and after that fight..
Matias was a prospect of the year when he started so always respected his skills. But he can get sloppy and can be hit... Great fight though, he looked like a beast tonight! Perfect style matchup for him!
If Nonito gets your timing down like he did last night, you're going to sleep. Huge respect to the future 1st ballot HOF'er. He and Manny are two legends that all talents should look to emulate.
Inoue stood up to lots of flush shots......he did end up getting his eye messed up pretty bad though!
One thing I noticed last night was that Nonito is way slower than he used to, but his timing is still on the money. That + keeping his power makes him serious business even at 38. Oubaali was a very solid champ but he was totally overwhelmed in there.
Just now watched the entire fight card as I've been in full on MLB rivalry this weekend w/ my SF Giants vs. LAD... Anyways a terrific card w/ the main event that didn't disappoint... That one punch was kinda late but the ref needs to step in and you can't really blame Nonito on that one me thinks. Now Donaire has a chance to revenge his loss vs. the Japanese star....
I'll tell you one thing: They need to stop touting every fighter that comes out of Kazakhstan now, as "The Next GGG". This is the second fighter(Ashkeyev being the first), that has been touted as that...and has been beaten into submission over the last few months.
