Micki Nielsen vs. Mirko Larghetti RBR

Nielson survives, lol, 8-3, 117-111

 

Great fight. Larghetti's a warrior, still going strong after the early beating he took.
Neilsen, not surprised it was his first 12 rounder. Maybe saved by some loose tape there...

 

Budler-Rojas is going down.

 

Interesting point, he damn near stopped him - but even making it 10-8 would still have Nielsen just barely squeaking through on my card, 114-113.

 

True.
Nielsen should stay away from anyone with power at cruiser...which is a lot of guys
He tends to lose focus, get sloppy and clipped a lot.

 

Scores : 116-112 / 116-112 / 117-112.
UD for Nielsen.

 

Nielson worries me, he's a good fighter but he'll struggle against the top echlon badly. I would favour the "bomber Bellew" to destroy him - I'm not even a Bellew fan! The way he reacted to getting hurt he showed a good chin, but seemed to freeze. Took far too many shots, that against a better CW he'd be knocked out badly.

 

Scorecards are 116 112x2 and 117 and 112

 

Official cards:

UD for Micki Nielsen

 

And to think after the 1st I thought it would be a straight beat down.

 

I'm not sure, is Bellew really a much bigger puncher (@ CW) than Larghetti? :conf

 

Will there be a RBR of Budler vs Rojas

 

I agree with this. Nielsen got rocked at the end. A puncher would have knocked him down/out. He started really well, but after 6 rounds he gassed and the fight was even. Larghetti is a warrior, but not a worls beater. Nielsen needs to improve if he wants a shot at the title.

 

Yeah, I'd say so. He's a decent finisher when given the chance. He's sloppy at times but can put them together well in flashes, he's also much busier than Larghetti.
Problem with Bellew is he usually ALWAYS against decent opposition gets caught with flush punches (apart from against Clev)
