This is a 126lb final eliminator with the victorious contender ranked #1 and potentially in line for Evgeny Gradovich's 3rd IBF title defense.

 

We are live. :bbb

 

Yeah, it makes sense, they are more or less on the same level.

Miskirtchian is a little better, I think, and should take another decision, this one unanimous and in a wider range than last time.

 

Ring walks.

 

What is this 80's yuppie stuff Takoucht is out to?

 

"Now ladies and gentlemen are you ready for some main event action??"

 

Round 1

Miskirtchian is pressing in behind the left jab. Takoucht retreats and then breaks into a leftward run to get around Miskirtchian and swoop in with attacks from angles. Miskirtchian spins to face him and chases him off turning over left hooks downstairs and lunging forward down and in. Chopping 1-2 by the French southpaw. Miskirtchian responds with a right hand and left hook charging in to regain control of the center ring.

10-9 Miskirtchian

 

Round 2

Miskirtchian is jabbing into Takoucht's guard and hooking above the belt on his right side. Takoucht is cranking out the right jab overhand as he backs up. Takoucht aims his jab up high on the slope of Miskirtchian's forehead, scoring on the backfoot. Miskirtchian presses in with high jabs and drops some hard straight thrusts with both hands under Takoucht's elbows. Miskirtchian pressures without much wasted energy. Clubbing right up top by Miskirtchian, followed by a big sweeping left hook that misses as Takoucht steps back and leaves his arms out to screen punches. A bit scrappy now, lots of grabbing behind the neck by both. The ref is on top of the action, calling for splits. Miskirtchian presses behind the jab and has Takoucht nearly cornered. Takoucht quickens his pace circling to his right and then fakes Miskirtchian out, prancing left with his southpaw jab pumping out to cover his escape.

10-9 Miskirtchian

20-18 Miskirtchian

 

OK, what is the deal with the ring card girl?

She is wearing a pink Nike shirt (not a ***y, revealing, scantily-clad number, either - just a shirt you would see a girl in the mall wearing) along with swirly pattern fake sunglasses and bleached platinum blonde hair.

Is that what's considered "hot" over there? :huh

Because, y'know, ring card girls are supposed to make you go "love :jjj:", not ":think ...:blood"
