Bigger's Better XIV: Morroco RBR

Next up is the co-feature, the "international prestige" fight...and it's a 4-rounder! (fancy! :shock

 

Fabrice "The Beast" Aurieng. :deal

Too slick & too black for the lumbering Turkish turkey.

 

:rofl

The Choi Love thread is probably due for a bump. :think

 

Humberto Evora vs. Redouane Touati, 4 rounds @ heavyweight

 

Touati is making his debut as a boxer, but is a veteran of several combat sports including Muay Thai.

 

Evora is a 3-time Portuguese national amateur champion and has also done some kickboxing...but he's also 40 years old, Touati's senior by three. :!:

...with a 3-9-2 record, stopped five times. :!:

 

Round 1

Touati is jabbing from outside, dropping shots in while on tiptoes. Evora sways from side to side with his shoulders slack and arms low, looking to load up on a right hand line drive or big sweeping left hook while charging in. Touati catches and holds. Lots of arm entwining. Touati is negative on the inside, jabbing and bouncing in a circle when there's separation. Wild swings from Evora. Touati just watches him from outside, throwing nothing. Touati steps forward and Evora goes for a body shot, missing and getting caught in a headlock. Finally some action at the bell as they hook together, both landing neck-snappers.

10-9 Touati

 

Yeah, I think the Bigger's Better tournament winner will walk away with a whole lot more prestige today than the winner of the "Prestige Fight". :yep

 

Ah yes, that's how it works... The winner of this is guaranteed a spot in Bigger's Better 15.
