Showtime Four-Warned (Tarver-Kayode, Quillin-Wright, Trout-Rodriguez, Bika-Davis) RBR

Round 6

Quick clinch. They work out per referee instructions. Blind overhand rights by Bika while leaning over with his head pointed at the canvas. 1-2 to the dome by Davis, pitty-pat. Bika pounds his way in with left hooks downstairs. Clinch. The ref pushes them apart. Bika keeps targeting the body. Davis skips outside, moving left. Lunging right by Bika connects. Davis blinks and slumps against the ropes, sticking his shoulder up defensively. Davis slides along the ropes as Bika continues landing rights. Bika grinds into Davis, then pushes himself back and winds up a big overhand right, hitting shoulder. Left hook by Bika. Davis reaches down and digs a left to the body. Bika comes forward looking up through lidded eyes with his hands down, almost daring Davis to lead. Davis flees instead. Left hook by Bika, shredding the body up close.

60-54 Bika

 

Charles Mooney (Davis' chief second) just called for some in the corner. :rofl

 

Round 7

Hard rights to the body. Davis is just backing up and taking them. One hurts him bad!! Davis moves to the ropes!! Uppercuts and hooks by Bika!! Davis desperately hooks back!! Both landing in the exchanges as Bika leaps at the running Davis. Body shots traded, sloppy as their arms become obstacles for each other. Bika lands a hook up top. Bika jumps in with a jab. Bika keeps narrowly missing with overhand rights while coming after his man. Davis finds himself out of room, nearly backed up to the ropes, so he flops in to hold. Ref doing him no favors, quick break. Bika is up on his toes, circling quickly and close.

70-63 Bika

 

So-so.

One sided and lots of holding, but there's an element of drama as to whether Bika can get him out of there with a big shot.

 

Round 8

Bika jabs his way in, then easily rolls his head under a few weak pawing Davis lefts too amorphous to be classed as jabs or hooks. Bika starts to work up combos to the body, cannonballing rights behind the jab, then standing upright and reaching with left hooks up top. Jabs to the body by Bika, regularly backing Davis up. Davis drops his hands while moving and Bika jabs him in the mouth. Overhand right by Bika, grazing and moving Davis into a corner. Bika gets to him and Davis ties up. Jab to the chin by Bika. Another. Davis throws a Trojan horse right to the body and then grabs Bika.

80-72 Bika

 

Highlights of Sharif Bogere vs. Manuel Leyva! :happy

Bogere wrecked him. TKO2. Scored a bunch of knockdowns. Hungry lion.
