Ryan Burnett V Ryan Farrag
Ryan Burnett wins a wide unanimous decision to retain his British title.
Farrag walked to the ring looking very focused. Burnett walked to the ring looking very confident, he walked to the ring like he was just out for a stroll.
In the 1st round both fighters came out looking to be on the front foot both men seemed quite happy to let their shots go, it was a very close round with nothing to split them. The 2nd round started slower than the 1st again there was nothing to split them but I think Farrag just edged it. In the 3rd Burnett was trying to get on the front foot, midway through the round Farrag pinned Burnett on the ropes. The more powerful punches came from Burnett but the better quality punches came from Farrag. At the start of the 4th Burnett rocked Farrag and he nearly hit the canvas. Burnett was starting to grow in confidence. At the start of the 5th Burnett cane out swinging it looked like he was trying to get Farrag out of there and make a statement.
Going into the second half of the fight I had Burnett up by 3 and I couldn’t see it going the distance. In the 6th Burnett was still trying to land power shots and Farrag looked like he was losing his composure. At the end of the round it looked like Burnett could land at will. The 7th started slower, it looked like Farrag was trying to box his way in. However Burnett was still controlling the fight. In the 8th Farrag was trying to land his shots but he couldn’t hurt Burnett. Then Burnett started to land some good shots. Farrag had a good start to the 9th but he couldn’t sustain it. Burnett backed him up to the ropes and started to tee off. Into the championship rounds we go, Farrag started the 10th well, but then Burnett took over and got down to business,but credit to Farrag he wouldn’t give up. Towards the end of the round Burnett rocked Farrag. In the 11th Farrag looked tired but Burnett couldn’t get him out of there.
Going into the 12th I had it very wide to Burnett the only way Farrag could win would be by knockout. The 12th was the same as most of the fight, and Farrag looked like he had nothing left.
