Ruslan Provodnikov vs. Chris Algieri & Demetrius Andrade vs. Brian Rose RBR

Wrong. He said behind Lampley, during the segment they showed directly before the Cotto vs. Martinez replay on HBO. That was recorded earlier tonight.

 

Round 3

Monaghan is circling right and drilling Muriqi with the 1-2, splitting his guard apart. Body shots delivered in bunches as Monaghan ducks in, lunging with his front leg and bending the knee to load up. Muriqi tries to time him with the jab or slap-hook stepping around but Monaghan is beating him to the punch with the 1-2 stepping in and out.

10-9 Monaghan

30-27 Monaghan

 

Round 4

Monaghan is catching Muriqi with his aggressive leads as well as counters now, with Muriqi starting to flip up jabs and 1-2s from the hip and slap with the left hook as he widens his stance and shuffles around Monaghan. Counter 1-2s by Monaghan, getting closer and closer to landing flush. Muriqi tosses a straight flurry, left jab rising from the hip and right hand sailing lazily across, high and kinked. BIG shotgun blast counter by Monaghan, short right hand on the chin, Muriqi down and saved by the bell.

10-8 Monaghan

40-35 Monaghan

 

Round 5

Monaghan is jabbing over the brow and ripping into the body of Muriqi with hefty left and right-handed scoops. Looping rights by Monaghan, sneaking around behind Muriqi's left wrist and cracking him on the jaw, bothering him. Muriqi slides bravely into the pocket and hatchets with his jab, tossing light 1-2s to dissuade Monaghan, smokescreen offense buying time for Muriqi to keep moving and sucking wind.

10-9 Monaghan

50-44 Monaghan

 

You mean Papazov vs. Mendoza or the one in progress?

 

It has been nearly ten years since anybody stopped "The Kosovo Kid" - and in that decade he fought a handful of top 15-20 opponents. (Caparello, Judah, Woods, Tarver)

 

Round 6

Monaghan is pecking at Muriqi's guard with double jabs leaning in, then straightening up and teetering from side to side to keep Muriqi lunging and missing with sloppy rights and straight flurries. Monaghan is countering with the right hand on the grill and working the left hook on the body as he turns Muriqi. Steady 1-2 by Monaghan, with Muriqi coming in and roping his arms out haphazardly, just a beat behind Monaghan.

10-9 Monaghan

60-53 Monaghan
