Grant Cunningham vs. Kirill Psonko, 6 rounds @ super middleweight

 

Nah, he was simply being facetious. This week sucks for boxing. :!:

The co-features on this card are decent, for an eliminator and domestic clash - and there is a vaguely interesting clash in Mexico tomorrow of former 112lb/108lb champs respectively (Hernan "Tyson" Marquez vs. Carlos "hey! I once beat Viloria...um, yeah..." Tamara)

Otherwise...tumbleweeds.

 

Round 1

Cunningham pushes Psonko back with jabs and wide hooking combinations slicing into his sides from body up to neck. Psonko backs up and paws his left jab, hunkering down with head bowed and forearms crossed protectively in front of it. Cunningham opens up more as the round progresses, landing with more authority, especially to the body - ever the aggressor behind the jab but using some lateral movement to get new angles instead of just plodding forward in straight lines.

10-9 Cunningham

 

Round 2

Cunningham sticks the jab down at the smaller man and sidesteps with his guard up. Psonko is becoming increasingly bold, exploiting the gaps in Cunningham's work to step in and flurry with jabs and loose yo-yo rights whipped in under the elbows. Psonko leans and bobs on the way in, forcing Cunningham to circle out of the way, but not landing much cleanly. Cunningham still controlling with the jab, but throwing fewer of his body combos with gusto as in the 1st.

10-9 Cunningham, but closer

20-18 Cunningham

 

Round 3

Cunningham is catching Psonko with some nice 1-2s now, resuming his generalship from the opening frame by constantly pressing the attack behind his jab. Psonko is drooping over to either side and jerking his neck around to dodge shots where he can, but Cunningham is connecting straight down the middle with both hands and whacking Psonko on the flanks unopposed. A trickling of jabs get through for Psonko, but his high counter flurries all wash up on Cunningham's guard.

10-9 Cunningham

30-27 Cunningham
