All the punches connected with perfect accuracy were power ones. Jackson a very good boxer too hasn’t opportunity for recovery at all. Jose a boxer to watch closely in the future.
agree
Holy sh…! That very first right hook landed by Uzcategui (@2:14) was terrific! Nothing Jackson could do after that…
the second count was absolutely ridiculous though, the ref stopped counting twice lol It didn’t change anything in the end.
It reminded me of Bute-Andrade 1… when Marlon B. Wright did the same thing to save Bute.
The cook got fried! That was great :) I don’t think I have ever seen a ref stopping his count to say to the guy who’s still up to go back, resulting in a 20 count almost. Uzcategui, I’ll try to remember this name :)
I have…and Tony Weeks was right to do so in this case. You are to remain in the neutral corner until the referee says ‘box.’ Weeks did the right thing, and is one of my favorite referees in the sport currently. I was sad that his flat top wasn’t as crisp as normal-Tony’s flat top is only rivaled by Julian Jackson’s in the history of boxing haircuts…
Ferocious! Bravo to Uzcategui, who was excellent in the ring and gracious in victory.
