JUSTIN BIGGS / NIKITA ABABIY : TITLE BOUT NY GOLDEN GLOVES 2017 : 165 lb. open ...3 rounds

[@870expressmag]

Some of the best lessons are learned in a loss/ fight like this.

[@BigBadRivi]

I remember when Justin was a kid... God bless him. I trained with your brother and listened to your fathers advice. You made Mr. Biggs proud young blood

[@k.bowers8372]

He's progressed tremendously since this fight....

[@jroceastvan]

He's a whole different fighter now. He must have trained relentlessly after this loss because he hits way harder now

[@slipperygypsy1366]

@@jroceastvan its way different style to amateur boxing no headgear longer fights different point scoring system

[@jroceastvan]

Slippery Gypsy yes, I realize that, but he has developed much further than in the amateurs. The power that he delivers is fantastic, and then light and energy conserving in between exchanges. Dominating. Love it. One of my favourite fighters right now.

[@slipperygypsy1366]

Jacob Chappelle definitely improved but in the amateurs it’s a lot more speed orientated power punches aren’t rewarded like pro fights so your style no matter who you are would revolve around that

[@jroceastvan]

Slippery Gypsy well, I have 12 years of competitive boxing experience. I won my first 15 fights in a row, 14 by KO, several with devastating body shot knock outs. Finished with 17 wins 3 losses. Could not get medical clearance to fight beyond that because I was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

[@gregorymaloney8102]

I'm enjoying this I'm remembering my golden gloves days at the flatfurum at the garden I competed there

[@dadude5600]

Justin had the cleaner shots, he was definitely the better boxer. The right guy won.

[@ronlawrence342]

I do think that it was a close run fight from what I could see , half the fight was staring at the post . I do think the man in blue slightly won , I think he connected more solid punches. A lot of Nikitas punches were straight up powerful but some were sloppy . I also think Nikita is weak on defense he hangs his face out there like a horse wanting an apple. Just to easy for a good boxer to hit. He needs to Try to watch snd learn some Mayweather tactics. Anyway I’m white and I’ve seen a lot of black prejudice ( I think they’re even pressured to do this by their peers) so I know it exists . But to be fair I don’t think Nikita won this fight. It was really close and both guys fought hard with heart to the very end.

[@duggasNJ]

The judges were wrong. All you have to do is listen to the oooh's from the guy in the background. Nikita had many more big oooh's.

[@pleaslucian]

That is absolutely not how you judge a boxing match.

[@JohnSmith-zx1bg]

@@pleaslucian True, but Nikita won the fight. Racism in boxing is a huge thing nowadays. They weren't gonna let whitey get the win.

[@pleaslucian]

@@JohnSmith-zx1bg No credible determination either way can be made from this video. As many people in the comments have already noted, half of the footage is of the ring post. In light of that fact, the insistence that Ababiy won can only be a result of pure unadulterated eurocentrism, which is comically ironic considering that he's Russian and the people here arguing are undoubtedly of western European descent. The accusation of racism, laughable in this context, is a projection of their own bigotry. The notion that African descended fighters need systemic bias in order to win boxing matches is absurd to anyone with even the vaguest knowledge of boxing history. Next thing you'll be arguing that Rocky Marciano was the greatest fighter who ever lived. You guys need straight jackets.

[@cbrucesbiz]

I would have called it a draw with a lean to the brown guy. A lesson learned by Nikita and it shows in his many upcoming bouts. What we did not see was the power of his punches as we do today. We saw very little shots to the kidneys. He has come a long way since this time. I do believe Justin showed good form and plan to see what he is doing and did in 2020. Unlike some that have a tilted view, I just want to see a good fight and the best of the best fighter win.

[@andyc3012]

lol, brown guy...... do you even know what the color brown looks like?

[@pleaslucian]

It is impossible to accurately judge this match based on this video. A good portion of the fight was out of view, which makes it curious that anyone would offer a definitive opinion about the accuracy of the judging. Either way, it seemed to be a good competition from what I could see. And Nikita's punching power was definitely on display. I look forward to seeing him in the future.

[@MichaelSantos-ru3bb]

Can’t really tell who won due to the angle of the recording. But I do see yellow had a standing 8 from a knock down.

[@sladeoriginal]

justin biggs wasnt boxing. he was standing like it was a street fight.

[@gerdsjor1397]

If you look closely you can see that he was boxing

[@erichinkle7151]

it was a good fight both had heart. Great conditioning too.

[@robertabell9182]

The lesson is don’t leave it to the judges.

[@willnot3297]

Isn't Nakita a name of a drill. ?

[@phillipmartin7717]

The south paw fighter made it harder as yellows best punch is his left hook the yellow definitely will be champ one day

[@paulstubbings645]

Definitely covers up a lot better and his left is brutal body or head

[@jetshull]

yeah rite.....

[@QueensJack]

I've viewed this referee in at least 3 fights and he is one of the best I've seen, fair and attentive and out of the way of the action except to make a fair call..

[@douglasbunn166]

Blue is a counter puncher,,of course he'll "land more" punches in a scoring system. It's not going to work tell well for him next level

[@MichaelBrandon10]

Counter punching won't work at the next level? Be sure to let Mayweather know about that

[@Nahulanham]

Except for the behind-the-head push down, it was totally all the way Nikita. But I've seen this pro-black judging in nearly 100 percent of boxing.

[@lutzlong2302]

Race, race, race! If he wins it's about race. If he loses it's about race. You don't have to agree with the decision but please for love of of the Queen...STFU about race.

[@MichaelBrandon10]

Not saying it's because of race but boxing judges are notoriously biased in many circumstances

[@k.bowers8372]

@@lutzlong2302 tell that to the left and their fake media mouthpiece! It's their constant agenda to push a divide between white people and all the other races.

[@k.bowers8372]

@@joshforeman1648 Mostly the Washington establishment tries to divide us, the people are closer than anytime in American history and will continue to become closer....they use divide and conquer tactics to regain power.

[@tonyc7301]

People who are saying Nikita won that fight just don’t understand amateur scoring. The winner is the person who landed more scoring blows. Period. A knock down punch counts no more than a jab. If you just look up the number of scoring blows, white dude lost. Yes his punches were harder but that doesn’t matter in amateur boxing.

[@ianpaterson3764]

Amateur scoring changed a few years ago. 10 pt must again.

[@Mr5thWave]

This is why amateur boxing doesn't mean crap to me.

[@briantime9880]

Actually that wasn’t a knock down and no he didn’t lose , he landed the most punches and more effective punches , terrible ref and judges

[@doyleelad1113]

@@briantime9880 I'd have to agree having just watched it. Guy in blue hardly landed a scoring blow first 2 rds. Nearly all on gloves or complete misses all together. Guy in yellow one all 3 rds in my opinion.

Nikita lost to Biggs because of that eight-count.

[@philiplee735]

When you could see around the post it was a close fight but the kid took a standing eight count so no surprise.

[@pleaslucian]

The standing eight in the amateurs has the same impact as any other landed blow. In non-Olympic scoring, all landed blows count the same-- 1/3 of a point.

[@bmanz8117]

Both drop their hands way too much. If ya get in the ring with a great fighter and drop your hands like this you will hav a good view of the ceiling.

[@johnbasch9903]

[@CraigDohner]

boxrec.com/en/proboxer/815272 He's pro now, not that it means anyone knows him. But his record here says he's undefeated as well. I'd like to think that perhaps Nikita's going to get this fight again down the road? So it's not like he dropped off the map (not that's what you've implied). They both look like exciting fighters, yet that's my opinion.
