Middleweight Tournament Group 2

Cirkusbygningen Arena, København V, Denmark, 2012-09-08


Round 3

Joachim Alcine 1-1-0 (1) vs Will Rosinsky 0-2-0
Rosinsky dominated the first round of the fight, Alcine connected the strongest punches but Rosinsky landed a lot more.
Alcine edged the second round but then Rosinsky clearly dominated the following two rounds outworking Alcine.
Alcine reacted on the fifth round winning it on a one sided form. The referee also deducted a point from Rosinsky by holding and hitting on this round so it was a great round for Alcine.
The last round was definitive to the fight and Rosisnky easily dominated most of it, Alcine had his only chance when he connected from nowhere a big uppercut that stopped Rosisnky cold but the American survived to win the fight. My scorecard was 57-56 for Rosisnky and the official ones were 57-56 for Alcine and 57-56 (x2) for Rosinsky so Will Rosinsky was the winner by split decision.

Hugo Garay 0-2-0 vs Mikkel Kessler 2-0-0
Garay won the first round on a very big form hurting Kessler with a great right cross to the head on the way. Kessler edged an actionless second round but Garay regained the control of the fight on the following two stanzas. Particulary the fourth round had great back and forth action with the highlight of a brutal exchange of right hooks but with Garay clearly landing more.
But when Garay seemed to be on the way of a wonderful victory Kessler reacted winning the fifth round and putting Garay in trouble with a uppercut early on the round and again with a left-right combination. Garay landed a big straight right near the end of the round but he was too passive on this stanza. The last stanza had poor action with the only highlight of a big hook by Kessler that seemed to hurt Garay. My scorecard was 57-57 and the official ones were 58-56 for kessler and 57-57 (x2) so the fight was declared a majority draw.

Arthur Abraham 1-0-0 (1) vs Omar Sheika 1-0-0
Another great performance by the big favourite to win this group Arthur Abraham this time he couldn’t last the fight inside the distance but he was the total dominator of the bout.
The first round had back and forth action but with Abraham taking the stanza behind a explosive left to Sheika’s chin. The second round was an even affaire with Sheika landing more but with Abraham connecting the strongest punches.
Abraham was the clear dominator of the third round Sheika connected a pair of good blows but Abraham landed more than him.
Sheika started the fourth round on good form landing a great uppercut and continued dominating the first half of the round but then Abraham mounted a big rally to win the stanza.
Again on the fifth round after doing nothing on the first half of the stanza Abraham connected a strong left-right combination and a power kook to Sheika’s head to win the round.
On the final round both fighters looked for the KO but with Abraham clearly having the best part to win another round. My scorecard was 60-55 for Abraham and the official ones were 60-55 (x2) and 59-57 for the winner by unanimous decision Arthur Abraham.
