Anthony David Benavidez vs. Anthony Dwayne Duncan Yarde & Brian Norman Jr. vs. Devin Haney RBR.

Alakel's corner is not happy with his performance for some reason. Alakel is doing pretty good imo.

 

They want a stoppage.

 

Round Abel Sanchez doesn't sound happy in the corner with Alakel. Uber Eats driver is there for the taking and alakel isn't taking. This ref is just looking to stop this fight by the way.

Right hand lands on Li and drops him, he gets back up round ends
10-8 Alakel
50-44 Alakel

 

So do I.

 

Alakel is nothing to write home about, but he is clearly significantly better than the current level of opposition being fed to him. I know its early in his career, but he should be stepping up in competition if he is so heavily featured on prominent cards.
I am genuinely sick of his sparring matches.

 

Luvvly shot.

LI is game here.

 

He's taking a canvas nap when he steps up. He needs years of build up to maybe be anything.

 

Wasn't as usual when he was beaten to a pulp by Ryan.

 

I dont mean to sound sexist but i can straight away by looking at the trailer if its radical feminism or not

 

Round 6
Li actually lands a decent right and comes alive at the end of the fight.

Alakel better but still not that great
10-9 Alakel
60-53 Alakel

 

Alakel is good but he's clearly levels above Li, but is reticent to really let his hands go and get the stoppage,VERY cautious, and whilst being defensively responsible is great and all, I think he has been way too cautious tonight.

Still a decent showing though

 

I am not talking about stepping up to world class or even close to it. But to somewhere that is above his current level of opposition. At least fight someone with more experience and double digit wins. Maybe someone like Viktor Slavinskyi.

 

I recall some prior opponents not even trying. This guy tried, but was just outclassed.

As to Alakel's matches, eh, just accept it. He's going to be on the prelims of every Saudi card. He's putting in the work, he's improving consistently, he's a well spoken respectful guy in interviews. I can't hate.
