Switching gears to recent bouts, Mateo Tapia delivered a stunning performance against Sergei Vorobev. In the fifth round, Tapia unleashed a powerful overhand right that sent Vorobev stumbling like someone who had one too many on a weekend night out. Although Vorobev struggled to regain his footing, the referee decided enough was enough, despite the animated protests from his corner.
Commentator Shawn Porter summed it up best, declaring, “The power came from the ground up, picture perfect.” In other words, Tapia’s punch landed like a well-aimed missile, leaving Vorobev disoriented and uncertain of his surroundings.

He might have thought he was turning the tables, but the moment was fleeting. In the subsequent rounds, Vorobev found himself on the mat, likely contemplating his resilience or lack thereof.
