Comments Thread For: Kenneth Sims Edges Batyr Akhmedov By Majority Decision in Fire-Fight

[Realizniguhnit]

Wasn't really scoring but I thought I saw a draw or maybe Simms edging it just by being a bit more polished while Akhmedov even though he might've landed more punches overall, round by round it looked like he was trying too hard to get the KO at the expense of taking unnecessary shots and Akhmedov has power but doesn't hit hard enough to where 1 of his punches would equal 2-3 of Simms. So basically he got out boxed imo..

Right guy won, 116-112 Sims for me

Haven't watched the fight so I can't make a assessment.

But man Akhmedov can't catch a break.

Akhmedov ripped off for a 3rd time. He won 7/4 with one even.

If a round is so much as competitive, they'll give the round to the American/Mexican. The only way to win on the cards is to pretty much not let them hit you and dominate. Problem with this is, styles make fights. If you have a style that doesn't allow for it, forget it. Even if you do, they'll still look to steal it away from you. Just grotesque corruption again all night.

Akhmedov landed more punches, but he got out-landed 2/3-1 against Sims?

What????

This wasn't a boxing match either. This was a fight. Sims lost the fight. This is the 3rd time now Akh has been jobbed.

LAS VEGAS - Kenneth Sims Jr. literally fought for free in his first fight after suffering the second defeat of his career. Seven fights and almost four years to the day later, Sims moved one step closer Saturday night toward a world title shot. The right-handed fighter from Chicago switched stances, countered well while boxing mostly off his back foot and

I personally scored the fight a Draw. However, with a swing round here or a swing round there. It could have easily gone either way. It was the best fight of the night on that Showtime card.

Oscar ain’t letting Ryan Garcia anywhere near Akhmedov.

I would love to see it though! Akhmedov can't get a decision (and I didn't have a problem with 115-113 or 114-114) so at least he can get a bag!
