Scott Pemberton vs. Omar Sheika

[Big-KO]

I was unable to watch this match-up, but I heard Sheika got the raw end of things. I'd love to get your thoughts on their rematch, Boxing Freak and Spinchter...etc.

BigKO

Sheika is explosive when he is in action. The problem is that he tends to take breaks too often in the ring, allowing his opponent to get back into the fight.

Because of Sheika's style, I feel that they make for an even matchup.

In their first bout, I think Pemberton was able to sway the judges in the later rounds because he never gave up and he fought with a lot of courage. That coupled with the fact that Sheika would just not fight for long periods of time in the later rounds also influenced the judges to award Pemberton many late rounds.

If Sheika were to use his skills and ability on a more consistent basis, he could KO Pemberton. I would not bet on Sheika because of his bad fighting habits. I think Pemberton has a big heart, and has just enough of what it takes to go the distance with Sheika and steal it on the scorecards.

For the record, I will not be betting on the fight unless Pemberton is a 3-1 underdog.

I didnt know these guys are doing a rematch. I saw the first fight on Friday night fights but it seems like it was a long time ago. I remember Sheika dropping him once or twice but Pemberton outworking him. I cant remember who I thought won but I think I thought Sheika won by a point or two but I'm not sure.

A rematch would be tough to call.

For the recored, I go with the "Sandman" Scott.
Omar seems to be getting less polished as time goes on, and he is a little sloppy at times also. Sure he is dangerous, but I say Scott
has a small edge here.
