Round-by-Round: Jose Ramirez vs. Josh Taylor - May 22, 2021

[ironbeard]

Rd 3 - Lundy lands then does a takedown. Something wrong with Zepeda tonight. I give that round to Lundy on landing the only substantial shot.

29-28 Lundy

[Onetimeonly]

Stinky match up.

[ironbeard]

Zepeda is fighting like he is on downers. Unbelievably tentative. Gun shy. Slow.

10-9 Zepeda (un impressively)

38-38

[skanksta]

Baranchyk woulda destroyed this Zep.

He's way below par tonight.

[ironbeard]

Round 5 - Zepeda is looking as old as Lundy. Zepeda is acting like the Baranchyk fight ruined him.

10-9 Zepeda
48-47 Zepeda

[Fightnight Scores]

Lackluster!

[ironbeard]

10-9 Lundy
57-57

Really disappointing.

[ironbeard]

Round 7 - Zepeda looks like . But, he won that round.

67-66 Zepeda (in a stinker)

[skanksta]

I think Zep is winning 77-76 ish.

Very lacklustre, but Henry can't capitalise.

[watsupdoc87]

HE MAN HAS SPOKER

[ironbeard]

Round 8 - it is almost like Zepeda is afraid he might hurt Lundy.

10-9 Zepeda
77-75 Zepeda

[skanksta]

I've got everything covered at nice prices now.

Zep has almost pulled out a dull decision win, probs should win the last just to be sure.

[ironbeard]

Round 9 - I am giving that to Lundy based on Zepeda stinks.

86-85 Zepeda

[margaret thatcher]

really disappointing from zeppy, he is much better than this

[gregregegg]

didnt watch but judging by the odds fluctuation it was very close but zep win win by a fair margine...

[ironbeard]

Rd 10 - (thank goodness) that sucked. Zepeda should be ashamed.

10-9 Zepeda
96-94 Zepeda

He deserves nothing based on that garbage. He needs to think hard about whether he wants to continue boxing.

[Ruthless-RKO]

All three judges scored it 98-92.

[lazboy]

There are no pecan chicken salad wars out there.

[margaret thatcher]

funny to think the same guy was involved in a 9 knockdown fight of the year in his previous fight

[oogiebe]

All three judges scored it 98-92.

What fight were they watching?

[chucktaylor]

Lundy controlled the tempo, showed better defense, and busted Zepeda up. Zepeda worked the body well and landed some very nice jabs at times, but didn't work enough. I had Lundy up 6-4, and it could have gone either way. 8-2 for either man is a bad card.

[margaret thatcher]

zeppy won fair and square but it was a major underperformance and obviously the judges wanted him to win

there was a very questionable decision in an earlier fight too


hopefully the poor judging doesnt continue into the main event

[ironbeard]

All three judges scored it 98-92.

What fight were they watching?

I have no idea. Zepeda embarrassed himself and the industry. Anybody not a solid boxing fan would never want to watch a match again after that grotesque performance.

Yes this.

[Fightnight Scores]

Main event time!!

Could be close, so if you're keeping score create a card: https://fight-score.com/fight/josh-tayl ... ref=boxrec
