Albert Khanbulatovich Batyrgaziyev vs. Neri Ariel Cruz Romero & Yury Osipov vs. Roniel Iglesias RBR.

There's some controversy in the YouTube chat; some people seem to believe that Osipov should have received more warnings and/or penalties from the ref. They're making excuses for Iglesias holding so much claiming it was because of rabbit punches.

Ehhhhh - first of all, that's how Iglesias usually fights. Maybe not quite that egregiously, but part of his amateur style was always flurry/hold/run. Also, most of that inside work looked clean to me. Any rabbit punches were incidental and the result of Iglesias bowing attempting to ...guess what? Clinch.

 

Albert Khanbulatovich Batyrgaziyev vs. Neri Ariel Cruz Romero, 12 rounds @ super featherweight

 

I want ALBA's flag girl.

She reminds me a bit of wrestler Billie Kay/Jessica McKay.

 

It's only Golden Boy that does that, no? Everywhere else (especially ProBox) still have attractive women as ring girls afaik.

 

...are the Argentinian and Russian national anthems combined long enough for me to run and poop real quick?

(of all the inconvenient times...would have spent the whole co-main in there rather than miss the start of this one...)

 

Yeah, I maintain that its impossible to rabbit punch a guy standing in front of you unless he ducks to make it a rabbit punch. When a guy gets broken down, their last resort is usually desperately ducking the incoming shots and then complaining when they land inevitably around the back of the head due to their ducking.

 

Made it! Only missed 15s.

 

10-9 Batyrgaziyev, feeding a straight left into the gut as regularly and fluidly as he's popping the jab up top. Both shots paying huge dividends, freezing Romero up and letting Batyrgaziyev assume the role of ring general.

 

1-0 Batyrgaziev

 

No way this goes twelve.

 

Some incredibly creative counter-combination punching by Batyrgaziyev...and excellent workrate.

 

Well, the Probox ring girls are certainly not Gargoyles; they are still however fat amorphous heffalumps. But apparently American brains have been rewired over the last 10 years to see that as a good thing. Oh well, each to his own I guess.

 

2-0 Batyrgaziev

 

Kind of a dodgy KD...will need to see replay.

 

woo!
