Boxing Challenge Update

R.L Malpica maintained the one point lead of 19-18 after the three fight card of Showtime.
Each of us selected the three winners,but missed on how.

Both of us picked Bernard Hopkins by unanimous decision to unify the WBA and IBF Lt.Heavyweight titles and it should have been,but for one of the worst scorecards ever for Beibut Shumenov making the bout a split decision.
I scored the bout 117-111 for Hopkins and that might have been generous on my part towards Shumenov.
Hopkins dominated,but the bout was the same slow bout that fans have seen from Hopkins for years.

Shawn Porter was expected to have issues with veteran Paul Malignaggi,but Porter blew Malignaggi out like no one previously ever had in a fourth round knockout.
Porter was very impressive and a bout against Keith Thurman might be a fight of the year candidate.
Both of us selected Porter by a decision win..

Peter Quillin hammered out a unanimous decision over Lukas Konecny.
Both R.L and I guessed on a middle round KO.
I scored the bout 116-112 in favor of Quillin.

R.L maintains the one point lead with a three fight card again next week on Showtime..
