Anyone see this fight today at 168 ?
First couple of rounds Knapp had the upper hand, Zysk came back into it in the 3rd and 4th.
Zysk went out swinging but seemed to lose his appetite very early in the 5th.

I just watched this bout. Didn't know about it. Probably because I had never heard of either fellow.
Anyway, "Roarke Knapp", stylistically and offensively, is at least fairly somewhat reminiscent of "Canelo".
I'd say, also somewhat reminiscent of "Arturo Gatti" and Probably even more so similar to "Mathew Hilton". The latter mentioned actually fought Arturo's older brother Joe.
Zysk was brave and game, but unfortunately for him, he finally got caught pretty good and just couldn't quite recover, and couldn't quite defend himself well enough, thus prompting The Ref's Stoppage.
Zysk was obviously Very Upset, and did His LiL Protest, but being that his arms were flailing haplessly prior to the stoppage, I think that it was definitely a proper halting.
Kind of interesting when I saw Knapp in his corner, immediately after the tko win though. He was obviously at the very least, "Very Winded", and perhaps even borderline "Wiped Out". Now, If Zysk had taken a knee, just a tad bit before deciding to keep on haplessly flailing away, in a very visually futile attempt of self defense, would things have transpired differently..?
I tend to think that the ref might've just waved it off just the same, even though That would've been a Wiley Veteran Boxer type of decision of the Moment move by Zysk. Theoretically it would've bought him some crucial time to get his Arms back into a much more better level of functionality, as he seemed extremely arm weary while he was trying to defend himself in the final moments before the bout being waved off by The Ref.
With the right sort of Ref, and Zysk being more defensively Wiley Minded, taking a knee would've likely enabled him to get out of that round. Would Knapp have gotten to him anyway, eventually..?
I'm guessing that Knapp would've then backed off the pedal in the following round(Round 6), like he did in the 4th round(Which also makes me feel a bit Hmmm, about Knapp's obviously apparent stamina issues).
I Do think though, that Knapp basically Ultimately had Zysk's number, and he very likely would've gotten him out of there in the 7th or 8th round.

You're right, Knapp does look a little Canelo-ish.
He's got skills but I'm not so sure he really carries a punch at 168 regardless of the result.
