I was a big Lamare fan. Key word WAS. This fight was sloppy beyond belief. I have never seen so many pushed,missed, ineffective punches in one single fight. Worse, it was stopped prematurely and I had Lamare winning 59 - 57 going into the 7th round.
Neither one of these ladies would last 5 rounds with Lucia or Sumya or Christy. Strangely they both seemed to run of gas almost by the third round. Mathis kept pushing a jab, even when Lamare was 4 steps away.
Lamare fought like she never knew that Mathis was 5 or more inches taller. But she threw every punch with evil intent, only problem, Mathis was too far away to catch those bombs. Lamare did knock Mathis back on her heels in round 3, 4 and 5. Round 6 was the first round I scored for Mathis...even with those pushed punches.
Both girls might have been victims of nerves because they seemed to tire within 30 seconds into a round.
The fight was stopped incorrectly BUT the ref may have seen both ladies almost brawling and falling around the ring and assumed they both were in bad shape. To her credit,Mathis just kept pushing those punches outward.
Not the fight I was expecting and certainly NOT the fight that someone reviewed. But hey, watch it for yourself.
