Rocky Fielding vs. Carl Dilks & Prizefighter: Lightweights II RBR

Round 1

Matthews is throwing the jab out, swiping with it loosely. Flannigan catches him with a very straight right hand and seems to hurt Matthews! Flannigan is bouncing around and rattling off right hooks, landing with a bit of elbow against the side of Matthews' face. Flannigan's quickness and Matthews' reopened cut are huge factors here, turning this into an outclassing. Wide jabs and rights by Matthews, with Flannigan smoothly planting his feet between Matthews' and dropping straighter shorter punches on his face. Flannigan is peppering him with shots and exacerbating the cuts. Matthews flails out at him and gets NAILED by a 1-2 and backed to the ropes. Hard right hook to the body by Flannigan, and Matthews is floundering, sitting back against the middle rope, looking frail and helpless.

10-9 Flannigan

 

Round 2

Flannigan rushes Matthews to the ropes and forces him to involuntarily sit on them again with a long combination of straight shots, almost resembling speed bag work. The referee gives Matthews a standing eight count. He beats it but Flannigan is tightly coiled and ready to finish him off, showing his right jab and trying to lure Matthews toward the ropes. Hard 1-2 between the gloves by the southpaw. Matthews slaps a right up to the face in the clinch. Flannigan raises his guard up, obscuring Matthews' line of sight with his right forearm. Body shots by Flannigan, pushing Matthews headfirst into the ropes. Matthews spins and holds onto Flannigan's waist. Frequent breaks and clinches. Flannigan hops around and tosses a lead left to chase Matthews across the ring. Matthews' entire face is covered with blood now. Richie Davis calls the physician to check it out. Matthews is swabbed and has his eyes cleared, and is allowed to go on. Flannigan backhands Matthews' left jabs out of the way with short spiraling motions with his right, and tries to score a lead left.

10-9 Flannigan

20-18 Flannigan

 

This is brutal.

 

:yep

 

Round 3

Flannigan is landing his lefty 1-2 and knocking Matthews' head about while dancing circles around him. Matthews sweeps out big shots, arm-weary, and holds where he can. A few nicks to the body on the inside by Matthews, but all the quality work is from Flannigan. Matthews puts out a 1-2 but misses both punches as Flannigan weaves his head between them and lands his own. Flannigan backs Matthews up with a jab, misses a left hand, but lands the next. Matthews nods his respect and drops his arms, eager to brawl it out the rest of the way.

10-9 Flannigan

30-27 Flannigan

The physician refused to intervene.

 

Crolla vs. Sykes, hell, forget the Prizefighter semis, this would be a decent Sky Sports FFN main event.
