Jared Anderson vs. Ryad Merhy | ESPN - April 13, 2024

[margaret thatcher]

efe gets his senses back. now they both trade hard shots. becoming a slug fest . efe improving his connect quality

[gregregegg]

Guido is no joke.... have to say i didnt think he would sit down on shots quite this much. but a big amature well and truely commited to the pro game... he isnt nearly won yet... but he is proving he belongs.

Efes jab is lightning... and he has moentum now.

[margaret thatcher]

efe got that uppercut catching guido as he ducks down

[skanksta]

surprisingly good fight

[margaret thatcher]

i couldnt tell if efe was buzzed again at the end of the round of just playing around with the head movement

[skanksta]

So far Guido is right, he's outboxing Efe, but struggling with his power.
Really good fight...

[skanksta]

Big 7th for Efe - Guido's head doing a "Platoon" for a bit..

[margaret thatcher]

guido taken some flush uppercuts bang on, solid chin

[skanksta]

ya, he's better than he's shown before.

Good footwork, and boxing IQ, holding on @ times, but good @ winning rounds.
What scores you got ?

[margaret thatcher]

efe going southpaw

[margaret thatcher]

i havent been scoring tbh. biggest moment was from guido and hes defo right there with efe, though i like efe's work a bit better overall

[skanksta]

career shortening fight here - especially for The Gladiator.

[margaret thatcher]

guido's arms look really heavy now, like he's struggling to keep them up, getting hit a lot to start the 9th

[margaret thatcher]

efe since getting hurt early has taken the shots much better

[margaret thatcher]

final round coming up, been a good fight! guido vastly exceeding my expectations

[tiny_acres]

I've got it 5-4 for Efe going into the 10th

[skanksta]

yeah agree - Guido pulls out a draw in the last.

He shoulda won too - got a ropes KD in the 2nd (?) but ref didn't count it.

[margaret thatcher]

good 10th for guido, has efe holding and looking gassed

[gregregegg]

close fight...

Did guido get a 10-8? i personaly dont think so, but you batter someone to the point they stumble back to the neuttral corner at the end of the round it has to be close.

coms want efe to win... judges probably do to, and he probably did win. but its very close, i wouldent hate a draw.

[skanksta]

Efe wins a 96-94 x2 SD.
One judge gives it to Guido with a 94-96 t'other way.

Good scoring, altho' woulda preferred a draw myself - neither deserved to lose.

[margaret thatcher]

fair enough scoring. guido i thought worked harder, and he had the biggest moment + ended stronger. but efe landing cleaner most of the time

[tiny_acres]

Close fight. Close scores. Fair decision either way.
Would not mind a rematch one day

[margaret thatcher]

gimme anderson vs efe

[skanksta]

or Guido ?

Either/both should fight Torrez too...

[gregregegg]

gimme anderson vs efe

Its the fight.

Hopfuly they give guido a good fight on the undercard of it... earnt another decent fight.
