Jason Booth vs. Jamie Arthur & David Price vs. Osborne Machimana RBR

Starting now.

 

Price vs. Machimana

Round 1

Price pushes forward with a jab. Machimana backs into the ropes and his soft flesh quakes. Price menaces with the jab and Machimana blocks with his right. Price connects with his first 1-2 and Machimana moves to the ropes. Price starts to open up a bit more and snap out his jab, putting it square on Machimana's forehead. Price gets a little more active with the 1-2. Machimana now bends forward and jabs low between stretches of backing up and blocking. Price comes forward and digs in with a hard right to the body. Machimana takes a knee and looks hurt. He rises and throws a hard combo, seemingly motivated now. Price stays outside while Machimana tries to lure him into the ropes and missing a wide hook.

10-8 Price

 

Round 2

Price keeps the long jab working as he stays tall and circles a couple of paces away. Machimana is trying to defend reflexively, keeping his arms crossed low and trying to bring them up when he sees Price begin his release. Right hands are landing anyway. Price is getting his fists all the way to Machimana's face before Machimana can move his own right glove the few inches into blocking position. Price keeps pressuring with his jab and Machimana keeps flinching away from it and trying but failing to block it. Occasional slappy hooks while cornered are Machimana's only offense.

20-17 Price

 

Round 3

Price hooks and jabs coming forward. Machimana is keeping his gloves a bit higher to try and improve his odds of catching Price's shots, and is flicking out a few body jabs. Machimana is walked to the ropes and jabbed in the face as he leans back into them. A solid right hand to the side of the skull has Machimana on rubbery legs backing up to the ropes and onto a knee. Machimana gets back in it and actually stands to trade with Price, landing a couple of solid hooks. Price is in the zone, however and just starts sharpshooting with hard jabs and rights. Big uppercut by Price. Body shots. Another right hand and Machimana slumps down in the corner. He drags himself up but is waved off.

 

I can't speak as to his paternal status, but sure he is a big fella.

 

Tom Dallas vs. Werner Kreiskott, heavyweights

Round 1

Dallas immediately hurts Kreiskott with his first right hand and chases him into a corner, pecking with his 1-2 and haranguing him until finally Kreiskott falls while leaned up in another corner. Kreiskott is up and trying to put his arms out defensively to obstruct Dallas (and maybe slap him if he's lucky) but Dallas just cracks him with sharp shots and backs him to the opposite ropes where he lands a hard body shot that drops him to a knee. Kreiskott beats the count but Dallas immediately lands a thudding right to the body that drops him again and it's over.

 

Really, more even matchmaking would be Dallas-Price (which I'd love to see) and Kreiskott-Machimana (which I wouldn't )

They're both probably still at least a year away from being paired with each other, or anyone who's a threat to their marketable zero.

 

His promoter literally just said "I'd like him (Dallas) to fight anyone except David Price right now"!

 

Booth and Arthur are about to get started.

 

Ring walks.

Arthur as Commonwealth Champion is out first, to rap.
