Felix Sturm vs. Ronald Hearns RBR

Round 1

Dobroshi lopes after Toumi and flips up a few jabs, staying in the pocket and covering up as Toumi takes his turn. Dobroshi is a good deal busier with his jabs in between the faced-together palms of Toumi, not quite reaching his face, and hooks to the body. Toumi lands a pair of very nice uppercuts after not having landed much for the first two minutes. Dobroshi ducks an overhand right and gets back to high jabbing and low hooking from the outside. Toumi encroaches with a 1-2 but misses and is jabbed on the way in.

The commentator was very impressed with those uppercuts and seems to think Toumi won. Two freaking punches. (nice ones, though)

10-9 Dobroshi

 

Round 2

Dobroshi gets his jab going and keeps it trained on Toumi's face, while mixing in some right hand flank-spanks. Toumi is flashing his hands out as though working a speed bag, except without the bag (or the speed, really). Toumi is missing constantly but the British commentator is gushing over his ineffective aggression. It isn't that Dobroshi is landing a hell of a lot (or well) but he is getting a few jabs through the guard and a few body shots around the back. Toumi lands a nice uppercut, again in the last minute of the round. More body shots from Dobroshi. they clinch.

Jeeves gives it to Toumi, and has him up 2-0. :roll:

20-18 Dobroshi

 

Oh ****, that is brutal.

Half of the audience is going "Bah-ah-ah-ah-ah"...doubtless making reference to Toumi's billy goat beard. :rofl

 

Round 3

Toumi starts putting hooks and right hands together and backs Dobroshi up. Toumi is warned for an accidental low blow. Dobroshi is doing more clinching than jabbing now. Toumi is staying on top of him. Toumi is more effective with his aggression now, wrestling Dobroshi on the inside and shoving him into range to land short looping power punches with either hand. Dobroshi looks to tie up. Toumi keeps punching in bunches. Dobroshi is on the ropes. Toumi chases him all around. Dobroshi tries to plant his feet and launch a hook to the body. Toumi marches forward and lets his looping punches fly.

This was a Toumi round.

29-28 dobroshi

 

Round 4

Toumi arcs his arms at Dobroshi relentlessly, not putting a lot of torque on the shots but making sure they at least thud. Dobroshi is putting his arms out trying to hold Toumi off and/or land the odd counter hook (which Toumi is wide open for). Toumi is throwing and landing far more and completely owning the generalship. Toumi lands a long right hand and Dobroshi staggers on one foot and leans against the ropes (should be ruled a KD). Dobroshi bounces himself upright and Toumi nails him with a perfect left hook to the chin/throat after forcing him to duck with a clubbing right. Down he goes, legitimately this time. Dobroshi beats the count but looks reluctant. Toumi hammers him with a right and Dobroshi, bloodied and beaten, goes through the top and middle rope with his upper body. That doesn't quite force the stoppage, but the next flurry from Toumi does.

 

Jeeves is ecstatic.

 

We move on to middleweights.

Mike Keta vs. Viktor Dick (!)

Whaddayaknow, they both have winning records!

Keta is 8-1 (7), Dick (!) is 13-11 (5)

 

Round 1

Keta stays low and throws some Tyson-like hooks and overhands. Well, you know...if Tyson was eighty pounds lighter and Albanian and a bit more robotic. Dick is flailing with long right hands from the hip and slapping with light hooks, equally wide. Keta keeps his guard tight and swarms in, applying heavy pressure and landing up on the bottom of Dick's chin and around to the left side of his face with hooked rights. Dick keeps pushing his jab out and getting countered flush with right hands.

Jeeves thinks the round was close. atsch Something tells me he fancies underdogs.

10-9 Keta

 

Round 2

Keta lands jabs and right hands up high, crashing through Dick's guard, and puts hard hooks together to each side of the body. Dick goes down hard from a flush right cross, parked on his butt. Dick is erect, but getting flogged. Keta lands a hook/cross combo that staggers him. Dick decides to use protection and pins his gloves to his face, pushing out a few defensive jabs. Keta just runs in circles around him launching fast uppercuts without even setting his feet. Hard jab through the guard and a hook to the exposed face by Keta. Dick leans against the ropes and lands a desperation uppercut. Keta lands high and low, all over Dick. Keta ducks a 1-2.

20-17 Keta
