      super ugly fight, there was no flow in the fight. Karim applied a leaping attack similar to porter and lubkovich didn't know what to do against it and opt out to constantly clinch karim.

      at midrange lubkovich punches were missing a lot, but Karim was also relatively passive other than his leaping attacks.

      I has it 6-4 or 7-3 for Karim plus the point deduction for lubkovich for holding. one scorecard had lubkovich only losing one round.

        and didn't fight with any urgency.
        live betting was available so I put some money on Santana decision right before the mid point scorecards were announced.
        Santana decision was valued at 11x at that point lol.

        sidenotes:

        they were fighting with venum gloves. I had a pair a couple of years ago and they are what I would consider pillow gloves. not build for punchers.
        so wasn't that surprise that all of the fights went the distance.
        nice one man, where did u get live action? i looked on my site but couldnt find anything.

        I went big on the Ghanaian Lawson...1/2 to beat a random chinese dude moving up in weight that just got off the plane from china, insane odds

          I believe the US market doesnt carry live betting. I use bet365 for livebetting and after a while it's really easy to get a feel on how a fight is going to progress.
          Last week for example I got Tete UD during the fourth round at 2,75x still. Really easy bet.

            Diaz looked like he spent a lot of time away from the gym before this fight was signed.

              What you think, Solomon should take it now?

                Maybe Santana is a serious factor now? I thought Solomon was #2 coming in, but apparently he got knocked down and got a SD against Gallagher, so I might be leaning Van Heerden at this point

                    Can't find it on streaming sites because the tourney is being aired for free! You can add the channel on a Roku or Playstation or whatever by searching for a channel called "Sports Live"

                    The website is below, but it's a pretty shitty knockoff of ESPN's watch website. They ask at some point if you want to sign up and pay for it, but close that because the Boxing tourney is free. If you go to the "On Demand" section of the website it says you can rewatch the whole card now, but it's not playing for me.

                    SportsLive brings you games and exclusive video coverage for some of the biggest names in prep, college and professional sports.


                    But the stream last night was perfect, good fights. Next round of tourney is in June.
