It was close every round yes but Brandon Glanton clearly won that fight smh man. Love the way Brandon handled it tho especially when he stopped his coach from talking **** lol

Glanton grabbing his cornerman and stopping him from ranting on the mic straight up made me emotional. Damn.

Mad respect to him after this, I'm deff a Brandon Glanton fan now and I really hope this loss doesn't stunt his career. F what the judges had to say Brandon won this and deserves the opportunities that come with victory

Glanton won this fight going into the last round and sealed it with the knockdown only to be robbed.

I have a feeling Shirley gets the stoppage in this one against Soumaoro.

Soumaoro wasn't playing, and he won this fight on the strength of his right hands that kept on landing on Shirley's chin.
Kudo's to Shirley for fighting through the adversity of a doggedly determined opponent, who's pressure and right hands were to much for Shirley to contend with.
Shirley reminded me a bit of Ray Leonard at the start of the fight, but that went out the window when he couldn't avoid those right hands.
At the end of the day it was just a case of a young fighter losing to a older more developed, and experienced fighter.

I underestimated the Black Buffalo. I think Shirley did too...

He sure did he came into the ring smiling, but left it frowning. This was a huge disappointment for the young fighter, but he showed the maturity of a seasoned professional. I believe he still has a bright future in boxing, if he doesn't let this defeat affect him negatively, which I hope he doesn't.
The Black Buffalo should be fun to watch in his future fight's, I hope that they are televised by the promoters involved with his career.

It was a great moment for Glanton, and boxing watching him have that kind of spontaneous reaction to prevent his coach from damaging his image.
Glanton's no nonsense just get in there, and fight your heart approach is what boxing fan's want to see in boxing matches.
That said much respect for both fighters who displayed a willingness to give it their all in a hotly contested fight, Glanton should've gotten the decision.
I would definitely love to see a rematch, and to entice both fighters back into the ring it should be made a title fight eliminator.
I think the next time around their won't be any doubt as to who won, because they'll come in with a knockout mind set.

Both corners give good advice. Both fighters are gassed and hold at different times. Incredibly grueling fight.

Have to imagine both will respect the other after the final bell rings.

They most definitely do! They've earned each others respect through grit, determination, and incredible heart!

Glad that Soumaoro got the decision, he deserved it.

He certainly did! Big Time!
