Terence Crawford vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa & Matvey Korobov vs. José Uzcátegui RBR

Mikael Zewski vs. Prince Doku Jr., 10 rounds @ welterweight

 

One of the judges is in the bathroom

 

Round 1

Zewski is pursuing Doku Jr. across the ring, flicking up left jabs and pulling away, turning above the waist and swinging his arms by his sides. Doku Jr. is ducking and rolling with shots and firing up-jabs from a squat. Doku Jr. circles out by the ropes with a long-legged, rickety gait, arms low but defending with fast-twitch ducks and twists whenever Zewski jabs or feints. Double jab by Doku Jr. circling away.

10-9 Zewski

Finally some quality boxing.

 

Round 2

Zewski is following Doku Jr. with the jab and slicing in rights on the body. Doku Jr. cuffs a hook behind Zewski's shoulder as they press in close. 1-2 up top and wide slashes across the sides by Zewski. Doku Jr. backs up, shaking his arms by his sides, drawing them up like pails of water up the well to fake a jab and then pulling it a quarter way, gauging Zewski's reactions. 1-2 by Doku Jr., blocked. Zewski is approaching in a shoulder roll, putting out tentative jabs and leaning away while reeling them in.

10-9 Zewski

20-18 Zewski

 

Quality yes but they're not doing much to spark up the atmosphere.

 

Zewskis not to shabby.......

Prince is tough to look good against and Zew is doing it.:think

 

How long until Gamboa's on?

 

This is for the vacant North American Boxing Federation (WBC affiliated) 147lb title, which has a fairly prestigious lineage over the last couple of decades:

Malignaggi
Soro Karass
Decarie
Dulorme
Porter
Canelo
Berto
Golden Johnson
Danny Perez
Forrest

Nobody below a B grade welter in the bunch there, and many of them A+

 

Likeeaaa saaaambooooddiieeee

What time is the Korobov fight? I fear sleep shall take me.

 

"Here we are in Omaha NE watching a fighter from Ghana fight someone from...Russia."

I had no idea PQ was in Russia. :think

Way to get off to a blazing start, Larry.

 

Round 3

Zewski is shouldering into Doku Jr. and working jabs on the way in and body shots with both hands on the inside. Doku Jr. is rolling in the pocket and countering with jabs but unable to back Zewski off. Weak slap-hook on the body by Doku Jr. while stepping around, caught on the right forearm of Zewski. Doku Jr. tries a right hand down the middle and Zewski picks it off with his left glove. Underhanded body shots by Zewski.

10-9 Zewski

30-27 Zewski

 

They should just let Colonel Bob do these by himself. It would be an improvement by some orders of magnitude.

 

OK....how many Whiskey Sours has Larry had already tonight?:huh

He just said here we are in Omaha Nebraska watching two fighters from Ghana and Russia.

Pretty certain Zewskis a Canadian....and even if he werent.....sounds more like a Chicago or Milwaukee Pole than a Russian.
