Sylvester-Oral and Pulev-Guinn RBR and discussion thread

[The Hammer]

n'dam won by decision,I don't know the scorecards...crowd was booing...

Crooked stuff went down.

The ref protected N'Dam when he was about to go down, pulling Khurtsidze off him.

The bell rang 10 seconds early with N'Dam out on his feet.

Earlier in the round, the ref let N'Dam take a few seconds extra to put his mouthpiece back in and receive some cold water over his head from his cornerman.

117-107, 119-106 and 117-107.

All for Sylvester.

And to think a guy who lost his first pro fight by KO, to become the IBF MW champion, is a pretty impressive accomplishment. I'd like to see this guy fight Kelly Pavlik, Paul Williams, Andy Lee et al...

SS is a tough cookie with decent skills. His problem is his height (about 5'7'') and his face cuts easy and looks puffy as soon as the ref has finished the instructions. I don't think Sylvester can beat the top guys in the division and he has lost clearly to Sturm as well.

He is a little undersized but he's gritty, workmanlike and through a good body punch as any other mw. Maybe he doesn't beat some of the top guys but I think he matches up well with Andy Lee, John Duddy, and maybe even Kelly Pavlik.

Yeah Duddy would be a great fight I'm sure. I cannot see SS have any chance against Pavlik, at least not the Pavlik of 3 years ago.
