Conway claims a split decision win!
Both competitors celebrate in the center of the ring, but only one can claim the win… Despite the intense competition, Conway executed much of the more significant and flashy actions, leading him to victory on two of the three judges’ scorecards.
The official scores were 116-112 for Conway, 115-114 for Kelly, and 115-113 for Conway. The victorious Conway may potentially face the winner of the upcoming Brad Pauls vs. Denzel Bentley clash on December 7, a possible early 2025 opportunity.
Heading into the final rounds…
Conway is effectively utilizing a solid uppercut through the guard followed by a sharp jab to kick off the round. Although Kelly momentarily counters, Conway’s aggressive strategy seems to be making a mark as they approach the final round.
If you’re interested in stats, here’s a look at the punch totals from two rounds ago: Conway scored 111 out of 384 (29%), while Kelly landed 86 out of 322 (27%).
Conway keeps up the pressure
Conway, who previously scored a seventh-round stoppage against Ainiwaer Yilixiati in Japan, looks to be in complete control, showcasing sharper skills than Kelly. While Kelly has shown slightly better accuracy, he has been notably less active overall.
As they step into the seventh round, Conway is smoothly linking his combinations together.
Pressing ahead quickly…
It’s often a significant indicator when a broadcaster swiftly transitions to a pre-arranged video package or advertisement instead of interviewing the victor of such an eagerly awaited fight.
Possible time constraints, a forecasted stoppage from Vuong, or a switch in strategy to evade potential backlash after a contentious UD10 may have played a part, but the reasons remain unclear.
The match between Kieron Conway and Ryan Kelly is now underway for the vacant Commonwealth middleweight title, with the fighters entering the third round.
Vuong triumphs over Gwynne after ten rounds!
The last four rounds played out as expected, with Gwynne pouring everything he had into the fight – notably landing an incredible 97 punches in the eighth round and managing to momentarily surprise Vuong on multiple occasions while cornered during their close exchanges.
However, Vuong’s powerful strikes – particularly his uppercuts and counter punches – were enough to convince the judges as the fight concluded after a demanding thirty minutes.
The judges scored it 97-94, 96-95, and 96-94 in favor of Vuong, amidst audible discontent from the audience. It was a tough bout to judge and a fiercely competitive challenge, precisely the type of test that suits someone like Cameron, who is on an upward path in this vibrant division.
Vuong vs. Gwynne R6
As they venture into the second half of their match, Gwynne lands an unexpected right hand while Vuong finds himself cornered… soon after, a flurry of punches ensues as they change positions, with Vuong landing precise but infrequent counters – the critical question now is, will he ramp up his activity?
Regardless, Gwynne continues to charge forward with relentless intensity; it will be intriguing to see how the judges scored this after six rounds. Could it potentially be 4-2 in favor of Vuong?
“You need to approach it with more skill, your eye is swelling, there’s no need to overexert… let him tire, then strike,” advises Gwynne’s coach Gary Lockett as they prepare for the seventh round… the swelling around Gwynne’s left eye continues to worsen.
