Mairis Briedis vs. Ismail Abdoul & Evgenios Lazaridis vs. Olegs Lopajevs RBR

SMOGER!

 

Round 1

Lazaridis is walking Lopajevs down with the jab, standing up tall. Lazaridis is getting tied up as Lopajevs snakes his left arm up around his throat and pulls him in. Lopajevs misses a high jab on purpose, wide of Lazaridis' head, and yanks him into another clinch. Body shots by Lazaridis stepping in. Clinch. Rabbit punch by Lopajevs. Lazaridis doubles a jab in between the wrists of Lopajevs and whips a couple of hard underhanded rights into the midsection, backing him up doubled over. Lopajevs clinches and drags Lazaridis across the ring. Lazaridis puts his head down and leans forward throwing a body combo and Lopajevs dusts the back of his head and neck with sweeping rabbit punches. Left hook, right hand by Lazaridis - Lopajevs down. Ten seconds left, Lazaridis bashing away on the guard as Lopajevs jogs away.

10-8 Lazaridis

 

If you're wrong you need to buy Cool Abdoul a pint. :drink

That would be a good perk to incentivize journeymen with negative styles to actually go for the W - if fans were duty-bound to buy them a drink for every upset they score. :yep

 

Round 2

Lazaridis is backing Lopajevs up with the 1-2. Left hook down low by Lazaridis Lopajevs retreats into a corner pawing a weak double jab up on his tiptoes. Clinch. Smoger breaks and has Lazaridis step out to center ring. Lopajevs wanders right back into the spider web, hit with long body 1-2s and hooks while attempting to circle past Lazaridis. Lopajevs is up on his toes, dancing by, pawing light double jabs from well outside and throwing sloppy uppercuts diving in to hold. Lazaridis drills in a right hand on the body. Lopajevs jumps in and ties up. Weak jabs by Lopajevs cast out like fishing lines, retracting into his guard and hanging back on the outside.

10-9 Lazaridis

20-17 Lazaridis

 

Round 3

Lazaridis is backing up and letting Lopajevs come to him with his light fluttering triple jabs. Lazaridis times him with a right hand counter on the chin, thrown slightly overhand. Lopajevs is dumped face-first into the ropes, held up by the uppermost one, but Smoger doesn't give him a count, just resetting the action instead. Lopajevs is holding out his left arm, fully extended with his wrist swirling to backhand Lazaridis' jabs away. Lazaridis keeps them holstered, watching, feinting occasionally. Lazaridis goes for a right on the body and Lopajevs puts him in a brief headlock until Smoger intervenes. Right hand by Lazaridis, stunning Lopajevs. Another right hand over the top behind a jab, knocking Lopajevs into a corner. Lopajevs makes his way out, tripling his jab up into the air and jumping inside, wrapping his arms around Lazaridis' throat. Diving push by Lazaridis, both gloves on Lazaridis' crotch and guiding him up against the turnbuckle. Right hands by Lazaridis back Lopajevs off. Clinch. Lazaridis pushes free without Smoger's involvement. Stiff jab up into the chin by Lazaridis while bending over to his right slipping Lopajevs' jab. Double jab and sloppy right hand whipped up top by Lopajevs, falling in and flopping atop Lazaridis in a corner.

10-9 Lazaridis

30-26 Lazaridis

 

Right!?

Even the 45 year old Fragomeni had Lopajevs outta there in less time.

C'mon, Lazaridis! :bbb

 

Round 4

Lazaridis is standing a pace off, picking Lopajevs off with his forceful single jab. Lopajevs jumps in on him and gets spun like a top with a cupping hand from Lazaridis, going in between the ropes headfirst. Double jabs and wide looping rights flung in sloppily by Lopajevs on his way inside to lean on Lazaridis or tie up. Lazaridis circles to his left casually, shelling up, jabbing at Lopajevs or letting him get inside and waiting for Smoger to break. Lazaridis throws a 1-2 into Lopajevs' guard and makes him dance back a few involuntary steps. Clinch.

10-9 Lazaridis

40-35 Lazaridis

 

This had damn well better already be more than halfway over. :twisted:

I don't want another twelve minutes of Olegs Lopajevs.


COME ON, LAZARIDIS! Channel your ancestors. (let's just pretend you're descended from King Leonidas..)
