...how's that for a clarion roll-call?

 

He's pretty straightforward tbh, not great, but decent. Pecks his way in the front door behind a high guard with mid-speed jabs and straight flurries, then once in his office posts up to rip hooks downstairs pretty effectively and unzips the opponent's defense with uppercuts if they let him.

 

Jkitou might also have deceptive power beyond what his record suggests; last time out he kayoed György Mizsei Jr. in 2, and the Hungarian usually doesn't buckle that early (in fact, just checked and yep, that's record time). I always considered "Super Gusco", a 2nd-gen fighter and former EBU titlist, a scrappy and game underdog on the Euro scene, moreso perhaps several years ago but even recently. He is 1-0-1 against Jarkko Putkonen, who faces Kaisee Benjamin in a step-up 10-rounder on the undercard.

Although he is himself a 'brand-name' Hungarian journeyman having been in with several onetime champs and contenders, Görbics aka "The Squirrel" is generally not considered an upset threat when brought in as the B-side, and is more the "get some rounds in against" type. I doubt RWB is going to manage what Radzhav Butaev, Spike O'Sullivan and Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam failed to do in stopping Görbics, something only 6 men have done in 48 contests (a couple of those corner retirements) ...but he should be aiming for a shutout, if not one garnished with a KD or two, if he's to distinguish himself from other British domestic prospects.

 

I've not seen a round for Görbics yet - or even a borderline one tbh - but he is catching RWB flush with the odd sneaky counter overhand. RWB is very loose and wide open when pressing the attack. Fine at this level but as he progresses, unless his chin is titanium, habits like that can sow disastrous results.

 

No idea mate.

 

For all his defensive laziness, however, I will say that Bent has done admirable work shredding up Görbics' midsection enough to not only get him blowing hard but also lowering the guard, then raking him with looping shots as he's vulnerably gasping to catch his oxygen up. Not impossible he could force at least a ref intervention late on here. Not sure about knocking him cleanly out cold.

 

Clean sweep for RWB scored by the referee.
