By Jim Dower: Unbeaten cruiserweight Andrew Tabiti (13-0, 11 KOs) kept his unbeaten record intact with a 10 round unanimous decision over Keith Tapia (17-1, 11 KOs) on Friday night at Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The judges scores were 99-90, 97-92, and 97-92. Tabiti knocked Tapia down in the 8th when he landed a nice shot that caused Tapia to touch the canvas with a glove. Despite winning the fight, Tabiti looked very slow of hand and foot, and not someone that will worry any of the top cruiserweights in the division like Krzystof Glowaki or Olesandr Usyk.
