Round 7

Lisandro Diaz 0-5-0 vs Guillermo Jones 2-3-0 (1)
Diaz surprised Jones dominating the first two rounds of the fight, Jones recovered winning rounds third and fourth on a very convincing way. On the fifth round Jones punished Diaz until connecting a great cross to his head and dropping him. Diaz got up quickly and the round came to its end. Surprisingly on the final round Diaz was the dominator and he almost dropped Jones with a devastating uppercut to the chin seconds before the final bell.
My scorecard was 57-56 for Jones and the three offical scorecards were 57-56 (x3) for the winner by unanimous decision Guillermo Jones.

Marco Huck 4-0-1 (2) vs Tony Thompson 2-3-0 (1)
Before the begining of the group this fight was expected to be the stellar one but Tony Thompson perfromed below expectations and he was already eliminated from the tournament at this stage.
Huck edged an actionless first round, then he convincingly won the second stanza and after that he deepened his dominance, totally controlling the third round in which he hurt Thompson with a cross. The fourth round was one-sided for Huck, Thompson failed to land a single clean punch this round.
But from this point Huck relaxed and allowed Thompson to edge the fifth round and to attemp a final challenge on the last round in which he dominated Huck and also dropped him with a great straight right seconds before the final bell. My scorecard was 57-56 for Huck and the offcial ones were 58-55 and 57-56 for Huck and 57-57 so the winner by majority decision was marco Huck.

Sam Sexton 2-2-1 vs Ondrej Pala 3-2-0 (1)
This was the only fight of this round in which there was something at stake, Sam Sexton needed a win to pass to the second round with a draw Ondrej Pala is the one who passed to it.
Pala clearly won the first round also hurting Sexton with a hook to the head. Sexton reacted edging the second round and winning an actionless third one.
Pala regained the control of the fight on the fourth stanza and he was clearly dominating the first stages of the fifth round when Sexton landed a big counterpunch combination and dropped him. Pala got up at seven visible hurt and attmeped to cover up and survive taking a lot of punishment until the end of the round.
On the last round Sexton was still in control and won it convincingly to secure his victory and his pass to the second round. My scorecard was 58-55 for Sexton and the official ones were 59-54 (2) and 57-56 for the winner by unanimous decision Sam Sexton.
