Anderson was cut above the right eye by an accidental head butt in the 2nd, a round he rallied to tie 8-8 with a solid round-ending combination. His cut was reopened and checked by the doc in the 3rd. He may have won the round, 7-6, but Sheppard rallied at the end, and who knows how the judges would see it?

Still bleeding as the 4th started, Andre was a dervish in the 4th, landing 19 hooks and 30 other punches to shut Sheppard out, 22-0! The 5th was a slow, desultory round, but a booming jab won it for Anderson. Eraly in the 6th, Anderson’s cut was reopened and the doctor said the fight had to be stopped! It went to the judges’ cards through round 5. They had it 48-47 Sheppard, 50-45 Anderson (not sure what fight he was watching) & 48-47 for, the winner by a split decision in 5 rounds, Agile Andre Anderson! I had Anderson winning, 49-46, and guest commentator Danny Cahalin scored it 48-47, Anderson! He was more agile, and landed a bit better, too!

It was now 2 to 1, in favor of the challengers, after this fluke ending!

Was judge number two either Jo Jo Guerra or Eugenia Williams. LOL
