Johnny Risko (level 5) (3-1) vs. George Chaplin – Infinity had Risko, the Cleveland Rubber Man, going to the Sweet 16!. But it was Chaplin, the favorite in heart of PWillisTheMan

, who got off to the start, using a jolting uppercut to hurt Risko and then landing effectively for a 10-6 round. George ripped a right home in the 2^nd to take the lead, but Risko rallied in the last minute with a series of jabs to tie it, 10-10. Johnny was dazzling in the 3^rd & 4^th. He dominated the 3^rd, 14-2, landing 40 times, often using his uppercut. The 4^th went 15-5, as he drilled 41 punches in, 12 sharp jabs!

When he rallied in the last minute of the 5^th to possibly take it, 6-4, and then led in a nip-and-tuck 6^th, 7-6, things seemed to be going his way. But Chaplin rallied for an 11-4 7^th, a hard straight right his most effective blow among 24 punches landed. George uncharacteristically went for the power shots in the 8^th. He fired off two stunning uppercuts in the first minute, and Risko was rubber-legged

! Johnny got a few counters in, but Chaplin was landing often, his uppercuts almost always scoring. He landed a nasty uppercut that staggered Johnny, but the round ended before he could do more damage. Still, he’d won big-time, 18-4, and was back in the hunt!

The 9^th was a defensive affair, Chaplin possibly getting the nod, 7-6, but he looked exhausted at round’s end! Risko covered up coming out for the 10^th, and, after a slow start, Chaplin was able to penetrate, landing 29 times, one a power uppercut that set up a string of crosses. George won it, 13-4, and had a great fight from Round 7 on.

I had Chaplin the winner, 97-96, and the color commentator had him as well, 96-95. The judges scored it 96-94 Chaplin, 95-95 & 96-94 Risko, so the fight was a draw!

Johnny had slightly outlanded George, 224-200, but the power shots were all Chaplin! A number of the fans booed the decision, but they’d fight again, just like the other Baltimorean, Larry Middleton. Hopefully Chaplin wouldn’t share Middleton’s fate!
