ESPN+ Sans Limite: Jean-Thenistor Pascal vs. Michael Eifert & Mathieu Germain vs. Steven Wilcox RBR

Round 10

Delay in starting; the ref asked some ring workers to wipe the wet spot off the canvas. Eifert is lighting up Pascal with the 1-2 and even putting a flourish on it now to include a hook for punch 3, and the ref steps in to warn Pascal for a low blow. Eifert is circling left or right, making Pascal burn energy stopping on a dime to avert course and lurch after him. Pascal tries ducking a 1-2 but Eifert just keeps letting his hands go and dusts the back and top of his head. Eifert catches Pascal ducking again with a left hook that, unless it was my imagination, caused a little wobble. Pascal chucks a bunch of overhand rights, grazing with the first and missing the next by a mile as Eifert glides away.

10-9 Eifert

100-90 Eifert

 

Orlando Cuellar implores Pascal "show me your F'N HEART! You have got one, don't you?'"

 

As straightforward a shutout at the championship or eliminator level as I can recall in a while. Particular where the shutout is being pitched by the guy that was massively expected to lose.

5/1 underdog.

 

Round 11

Eifert is tiring visibly, albeit not enough to give Pascal a free landing strip for his sporadic wild power shots. Eifert is ducking big Pascal hooks up top and immediately coming up placing his jab. Eifert not as sharp or prodigious as in the first several rounds but still outscoring Pascal by plenty. A few swiping partial contact hooks on the body are Pascal's best stuff, and even that's few and far between.

10-9 Eifert
