Heavyweight Snore Fest at MSG and the rest of the weekend fight results

Ohh man I feel bad for the suckers who paid hundreds to thousands of dollars to see that stinker at MSG on Saturday. Wladimir Klitschko scored a unanimous decision over Sultan Ibragimov to unify the IBF and WBO belts. Your boy Larry Lump scored it 119-109 for Wladimir, almost a shut out except for the first round. All Klitschko did the entire night was slap down Sultans weak ass jab then throw a jab of his own. You kept waiting for him to cold cock him with the right hand but Wladimir threw his first right in the 5th round! Yes 4 straight round of boxing with only one hand and he won 3 of them. The crowd was booing, I was yawning, not good. Punch stats at the end of the fight had Klitschko landing 108 jab to ONLY 16 by Ibragimov!

So did this fight create any clarity in the heavyweight decision, absolutely not. To me it still seems like Klitschko is afraid to take a punch to the chin so he fights in a very defensive style. If there ever is a Sam Peter rematch I think he is in for a rough night.


OK had a chance to watch the Pavlik/Taylor fight in more detail. Winner is.....
Draw baby 114-114. I had Pavlik up 58-56 after the first 6 and I though Taylor had the same score for rounds 6-12. Man it was close. At the end of the day Pavlik was probably a bit busier and I really don't have an issue with him winning the fight but damn it was a hard ass fight to judge. Put it this way, judges only scored unanimously in rounds 1 and 11, every other round they were split.


In MMA news, Bob Crapp, I mean Sapp got TKO'ed in less than a minute against a guy who had a 1-5 MMA record. Another novelty fighter bites the dust. I heard some rumors that Pro Wrestler Kurt Angle wants to fight Randy Couture this year. What the hell is he smoking, Kurt will get destroyed!


See you cats on Wednesday with another classic lump.


Here are the rest of the fight results from the weekend.
