Stieglitz-Gutknecht and Zbik-Spada II in Germany today

[Fox McCloud]

I switched streams for the 4th, so no input from me, except that apparently Spada lost a point for the accidental butt that caused a cut on Zbik. Gotta love the WBC rules.

Bat scores it for Spada. I'll go with it. 39-36 Zbik.

5:

Is my scoring messed up??

Zbik is in some trouble, clinches a lot. Spada senses his moment. Zbik fires only pittypat punches.

Zbik lands a few good shots at the end.

3-2 (spadas round)

[Fox McCloud]

49-45 Zbik on my card after 5.

Official cards after 4: 40-35, 39-36, 39-36 Zbik.

Zbik looked pretty sharp in round 5. Another round to him.

6:

Spada is getting the better of the infighting IMO. Excellent left counter from Zbik as Spada bores in!

Spada isn't a clean figher at all. A lot of open glove hits.

Zbik takes control in the end of the round and takes it on my card.

4-2

[Fox McCloud]

Spada was knocked back by a left hook from Zbik. That's enough to win it.

59-54 Zbik on my card.

I have to go, but Zbik has this well in hand. I doubt Spada can do anything to turn this around.

Later Bat.

7:

Zbik has 2 cuts. Nose and left eye.

Big punches from Zbik. But they are not hurting Spada.

5-2

[BattlingNelson]

8:

Nice scoring punches from Zbik starts the round.

Spada with a right on the cut that bleeds again.

Zbik in control.

6-2

[The Hammer]

Close 8th round.

Spada's pressure appears to be starting to get to Zbik. Spada is using his head on the inside, he's fighting dirty...

[Fox McCloud]

Come on Bat... I'm waiting to leave til I see how you scored the eighth...

[BattlingNelson]

9:

Zbik really deploying the 1-2 and then clinch. Not so pretty ATM.

Spada is now doing the work. Is Zbik tireng?

Finally the ref cautions Zbik for his excessive holding.

Spadas round.

6-3
