Kevin Brown vs Idalberto Umara

[handsofstone]

10 round super lightweight fight headlining DAZN card from America this Friday, both Cuban, Brown is 4-0 with 3 KOs, Umara is 12-2, 8 KOs coming off a decision win over Velez, haven't heard of either but sounds pretty intriguing

gurg hovansyian like an armenian tyson fury. 6'7 chubby goofy looking guy, but light on his feet with quick flicky hands. pretty good amateur experience. need to get him a better opponent next time

Brown survives a 4th round knockdown to win a SD over Umara, I had Brown ahead 96-93 as did the one of the judges, one judge had it a round wider and the other has it 97-92 for Umara, not a great fight, 2 Cubans, both pretty sharp, both defensively minded but Brown was controlling the ring centre, walking forward, Umara was too passive but in round 4 he rocked Brown with a huge uppercut then knocked him down with a left hook, Umara never capitalized though and went back to fighting on the backfoot, it wasn't a classic, Umara had pockets of success but although Brown wasn't exactly Arturo Gatti I still had him winning decisively
