Lee Haskins vs. Jason Booth & Hughie Fury vs. David Gegeshidze RBR

Round 8

Haskins is backed into the ropes. Haskins casts out both gloves on zip-lines into Booth's face while careening off the ropes and continuing to circle away. Booth dives in past a right jab and takes a few chops at Haskins while crowding him against the ropes. Haskins gets open space and jabs into Booth's face. Clinch. Hard jabs to the body by Booth. Haskins is ducking and scampering off the ropes with his upper body slumped over and legs scissoring. Right jabs to the body and jaw by Haskins keeping a safe distance. Booth steps in with a left hook and Haskins rolls to his left with it. Haskins folds his arms up against his chest and sticks his bum out, ramming his body sidelong into Booth to slow his progress and then bouncing away with some parting jabs flapping in the air and missing. Effective spoiling.

10-9 Haskins

79-73 Haskins

 

:conf

Quite a few people on Twitter are commenting along with us. I think one person had Booth leveling it up on their card with the sixth. :huh

 

Round 9

Haskins is dancing away, knocking lightly on Booth's chin with his jab in short repeating bursts. Haskins is switching between stances, jabbing with left or right and constantly moving. Left uppercut by Haskins pushing off when Booth presses into him. Booth hooks diligently at the body but isn't getting close enough to make consistent contact, mostly getting Haskins on the elbows. Jabs flicked out by Haskins as he nears the ropes, and a swiping right hook just narrowly missing Booth's chin.

10-9 Haskins

89-82 Haskins

 

Round 10

Haskins is being chased about the ring, keeping the right jab pawed onto Booth's forehead, pantomiming it from several paces out at times. Booth isn't getting near him. Big left hooks by Booth stepping forward, too wide and too far out, some of them pulled before turned over as he realized this. Haskins is touching Booth very lightly with the poking right and left jab, still alternating stances as he retreats into the ropes and then dives in for a brief clinch before starting over. Light body taps by Haskins as he circles out. Lunging jab by Booth, missing as Haskins ducks and comes up with a counter right jab. Leaping right hook by Haskins moving away from the ropes. Constant backward motion and ducking by Haskins, tossing the jab up into the air. Booth comes forward hooking with both hands, winging his shots over Haskins' back as he leans forward.

10-9 Haskins

99-91 Haskins

 

Well, good thing, because many of those imaginary entities have this close enough to hang in the balance here in the championship rounds. :blood

I am pulling hard for Booth, but can't really see that...

What Haskins is doing isn't pretty but he is nullifying Booth's pressure since the 6th.

 

Round 11

Haskins is tossing light right jabs while circling away with both hands down. Booth comes in bowling hooks at Haskins' body. Clinch. Right hand to the body by Booth. Haskins is circling away, doing absolutely nothing. Haskins paws at his forehead with one glove, perhaps cut? Jabs into the air by Haskins, missing. Booth is cut as well. There may have been a headbutt in a clinch. Looping shot over the back by Booth as Haskins bows down. Haskins down, slip. Booth chases with jabs and rights, grazing. Richard James Davies escorts Booth to his corner to look at the cut. They clear it to continue. Booth chases Haskins for a few more seconds.

10-9 Booth

108-101 Haskins

 

They are showing replays of every close exchange to pinpoint the head clash. They don't manage to find it before the final round begins.
