Andreas has scored the fight 115-112, Williams, as he won the last 3 rounds! Frank Shain has the official verdict. Ladies and Gentlemen, the judges have tallied their scorecards and here is your decision…Robert Gilson, United States scores the bout 114 to 113 for Jeremy Williams, Ferdinand Estrella, Philippines scores the bout 114 to 114 – even, and Gustavo Padilla, Panama scores the bout 116 to 112 for......Jeremy Williams, the winner by a majority decision!

I thought the fight should have been a unanimous decision for Williams. For 2 of the judges, the 11th & 12th were pivotal! Estrella had Moli winning the 1st, 3rd & 4th, and being even in the 2nd! The 4th was baffling to me, as Jeremy outlanded him, 40-18, and won the power punch battle, 3-1! Maybe Moli was leading with his jaw? For the fight, Moli landed 230 of 677 for a 34% connection rate, while Williams was 296 of 744, a 39.8% rate. Moli was unable to wear Jeremy down, and Big George was silent and confused after the fight. Indeed, the beating Williams gave in the 10th seemed to take the starch out of Fabio! Jeff correctly predicted the winner, though it wasn’t by a KO!

Williams was gracious in the post-fight interview, praising Moli for his durability. Muhammad Ali praised the winner, and said he’d take both men on in one night of boxing! He told Williams, “You may be Half-Man, Half-Amazing, but I AM the Greatest, and you’ll be half on the canvas, half through the ropes when I’m done with you!”

Moli was downcast during his interview, indicating that he didn’t quite execute his game plan. But he was likewise gracious to Williams, saying that, while he hadn’t been hurt by his punches, Jeremy certainly had landed enough of them, as his eye could attest! When told about Ali’s claim, he smiled and said “I’ll let the champ fight him first!”

The crowd cheered for both fighters, and the promoters were pleased with the attendance and action in this tourney! More fights will be scheduled, as some who feel they got a bad decision are demanding rematches. So there you have it, folks. Jeremy Williams is the champion of the Thundering Threes Tourney!
