10-10 based on nothing of note again.... but if i had to edge it then to belgium again... but again, 100% going to keyshawn with udges...

really few light shots on the gloves each.

sometimes i think he looks good. but hasnt landed a shot that would hurt an 8 year old yet...

he is flashy but 90% of his shots are mainly on gloves, and the clean shots are often fast paced pitter patter.

I think he will be good but geezes needs to stop playing and start trying to land some power.

took him 8 rounds to decide to sit on a shot. when he did immediate effect. third shot he sat on skittled the belgium bloke.

Shutout with a KD and first 10 rounds against a solid Euro Champ - pretty good for 9th fight. :salut:
Needs a little more experience and he should improve a lot from that.

hard to know what to think of keyshaw after that. hardly threw a meaningful shot for the first 8, looked happy to win rounds like its amature boxing... the second he threw some spit he put his man down. but then los interest in meaningfull shots again pretty quick. seems to lack a mean streak.

needs to keep active keep moving. hopefuly a bit of that Bud crawford "smart but spitefull" style rubs off on him a bit.

yeah talking about "a long career" isn't a good sign - "live fast, die young" is what us fans want to see.. :bag:

Keyshaw vs Diaz next would be fun. Id actualy like him vs Linarez too but its a tough sell. has the tallent to be pushed quicker but it feels like he is happy to carry fights, an attitude you need to stamp out befor stepping up.

3-1 Maxi - he's outboxing GFK fairly handily.

As an australian i wont prettend to judge this... but id say max won the 3rd pretty clear, other than that very close rounds.

Yeah Max wins the 5th fairly clear too.

I got 4-1 Max, but he could be down 3-2 ? :maybe:

good round maxi. really should always bet on the southpaw when someone has "not fought a southpaw in 8 years" or any of those situations. value there.

Still got kambo well in it, just gotta get some dawggggg in him.

maxi clearly better in this stance match up. but kambo is gritty as usual. making it very close.
