WOW! Sensational performance by Nicklow and Kennedy Friday night!!! That bout made the card!!!! Although I am very dissappointed with the outcome. Nicklow won that bout hands down! I would have scored similar to the one judge, or maybe Nicklow won 7 rounds and Kennedy won 3 rounds, maybe. There were even exchanges, however, Nicklow connected with jabs, and clearly hurt the body of Kennedy with those hooks I could hear from my seat. Kennedy seemed to not make much contact with anything except Nicklow's gloves. I saw the after fight interviews with both fighters, and dang...did Nicklow even get in a fight? Julius Kennedy looked beat to death!!! I do give Kennedy credit for being tough. Both fighters, my admiration and hat goes off to both of you, but there was a winner in this bout, it was Nicklow for sure.
