Mikkel Kessler vs. Allan Green RBR

Itty bitty ones.

 

Round 1

Keller is blocking as Pompilio circles and snaps his jab, picking spots to throw his 1-2 and solo counter right over the top. Jabs by Keller skidding up the face of Pompilio. Very conventional straight-ahead orthodox boxing by Keller, but he's good at it. Tight guard, crisp punches. Pompilio is knocked into the ropes by a blocked 1-2. Pompilio is switching in and out of the southpaw stance as he backs up to the ropes and then comes crashing forward with clubbing shots. Tall lanky and awkward, Pompilio can't penetrate the guard of Keller but is giving him some strange angles to think about.

10-9 Keller

 

They were probably showing them the soccer match on a big screen in the venue. :conf

 

Keller = mini prime Kessler. :yep

 

Round 2

Strong jabs by Keller coming forward. Hard right hand over the top, knocking Pompilio back several feet into the ropes. Wild swings by Pompilio as he jogs close-knit circles around Keller and keeps his limbs loose and elbows sticking out with his fists up under his chin in a vaguely chicken-like stance. Keller keeps turning and piling on his hard jab. Pompilio hops around him and does some erratic bobbing and weaving, trying to stay off the jab and land awkward shots to head and body from different angles. Keller catches everything on his jab and manages to stay focused in and aim his jabs wherever Pompilio winds up. Hard right by Keller catching Pompilio ducking past him. Left hook to the body by Keller as Pompilio straightens up and raises his guard.

10-9 Keller

20-18 Keller

 

We are halfway into a live 4-rounder.

After this, probably a 6-rounder (Nielsen vs. Nespro)

Then the main event.
