Chris John vs. Shoji Kimura & Daud Yordan vs. Lorenzo Villanueva RBR

Round 2

Nor Rizan dives in with a right to the body but Hua is able to sidestep and counter with a slap-down flurry while up on his toes to better leverage himself against the taller man - going for volume and accuracy around the facial area rather than keeping a low center of gravity and grounded heels to generate more pop with spring action. Hua is just much busier, slapping away with wide shots ducking in and flying in with jabs and lefts up high from outside. Nor Rizan down again, slip. Nor Rizan just isn't putting in any work. A few lazy jabs, and some rights colliding against Hua's back on the inside. Hua keeps up his hyperactive siege, landing some soft uppercuts.

Round 3

Bombs away!! Hua is opening up on Nor Rizan, big left hooks and overhands while setting his feet!! Nor Rizan down!! REAL KNOCKDOWN THIS TIME!! WTF?? Ruled a slip?? Bull****! Hua keeps whacking away at him, landing some of his shots with forearm rather than knuckle as Nor Rizan just leans forward into them, unsure of what to do and lacking the veteran instincts to either clinch or move. BIG undercuts to the body by Hua!! He's swarming the hometown favorite like mad!! Both men are warned for grabbing the back of the head as they scrap in close. Hua is landing some big flurries to the face, as Nor Rizan tries to lean forward and drape himself across him. Nor Rizan dives in, and gets cuffed headlong into the ropes by a left hook as Hua steps aside. Ole`!!

10-9 Hua

Should have been 10-8. :bart

Round 4

Big exchanges! Nor Rizan is finally coming out of his shell and trying to match Hua shot for shot. His lack of speed is being exposed as a result, as is his porous defense! He does pack a punch, though! Hua sent scrambling backward by a right hand, then clinching as Nor Rizan moves in. They shove together and the ref forces a break. High right jabs by Hua, circling left on the outside. Nor Rizan dives in with a clubbing right, missing, and gets hit with a body shot. He goes down to his knees. Ruled a slip. :-( You can't score an official KD on this guy. Big overhand left by Hua!!! Another! Nor Rizan getting dinged, dropping his hands!! OHH, and he responds with a big right hand!!! Nor Rizan dives in again, countered with a FLUSH STRAIGHT LEFT TO THE FACE AND PITCHES FORWARD TO HANDS AND KNEES!! RULED A ****ING SLIP ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME?!?!? c

Looked like TWO that round. (three all night so far) :twisted:

 

This is a total screwjob in the making. The deck is stacked against Wang.

This is going to be worse than Nagashima vs. Ma where at least there was an argument for Ma landing the better harder shots (but far less of them) in a couple of rounds.

 

I guess that was downgraded to a four rounder, not six. So it's over.

We'll hear the decision soon.

Got a knot in my stomach..
