Devin Miles Haney vs. Ryan García Quesada & Arnold Barboza, Jr. vs. Seán McComb RBR

Round 4

Dibombé is getting pelted into the corners and ropes by the constant threat of Melikuziev's left hand over the top. Melikuziev using a mixture of right jabs and elbow-flicks to back Dibombé up while setting up the left. Dibombé getting in some touches with counters on the backfoot but largely getting outhustled, albeit in spurts, by the Uzbek. Cut now on Melikuziev as well.

10-9 Melikuziev

40-36 Melikuziev

 

Round 5

Another head clash, sheesh. One messy orthodox vs. southpaw matchup, worst case scenario when it comes to styles as far as skull bumps. Dibombé is knocked down by an overhand left moments later, and disputes it. TIme out called, as they check on both men's cuts. They could probably stop it based on either one and just go to a TD now, but they're given the green light to fight on. Dibombé staying in Melikuziev's chest, popping a high stiff left jab even as blood obscures half of his vision. Melikuziev grabs him and tosses him bodily into the ropes. Dibombé's already dicey balance is shot to hell now that he is partially blinded from the cut. He's skittering around with every blocked left hand from Melikuziev. Sustained bombardment of right hooks and lefts from Melikuziev. Dibombé wobbled but survives.

10-8 Melikuziev

50-44 Melikuziev

 

The doctor having to sprint around the ring to check out both of them during the stool break.
