Alexander Dimitrenko vs. Michael Sprott & undercard RBR

FFS, old Toney and Safety Pin BOTH had this guy outta there by now. :twisted:

 

Round 4

Greer keeps using his own head as a bowling ball, and keeps rolling strikes if you count Boytsov's counter uppercuts as the pins. Hard 1-2 by Boytsov as Greer tucks up and stumbles back to the ropes. Wild overhand right by Greer, similar to the one he landed in the 3rd but Boytsov has it scouted now and ducks it while throwing a high overhead counter right. Boytsov is staying in close and just hooking the body, hacking mostly with his wrist and forearm at Greer's flab. Greer lands a grazing shot and gets adulation from his corner. The referee calls time to inspect Greer's cut-up face. Physician says whatever. Time in. Boytsov backs Greer up with jabs and very brief combos, very conservative with his energy. Wild overhand by Greer misses again.

40-36 Boytsov

 

Maybe. :?

I'm wondering if he just doesn't want to gas/punch himself out due to 93% of Greer's wins being knockouts?

The guy may be a fat piece of ****, but that one right hand in the third did get Denis' attention and make him hold if only for a second.

 

Watch more heavyweights.

 

Round 5

Boytsov is just hooking at the body exclusively now. Greer is smashing away with both left and right overhands now. Boytsov is forced to tuck his chin and duck and weave inside to land his hooks to the body, with Greer's gloves rubbing his back. Greer DOWN from a body shot. He stays on a knee until 8 and springs up. Flush left hook by Greer as Boytsov just stands in front of him. Greer's nose is spouting blood. Hard right hand over the top by Boytsov. Greer is using an old-timer stance, turned sideways with his arms crossed over each other and shoulder jutting out. It isn't helping him. Boytsov's slow and steady one-and-done attack keeps rocking him every few seconds.

10-8 Boytsov

50-44 Boytsov

 

Adamek has no HW power.

Boytsov has it, he just doesn't use it. (at least in combination, or when he has someone in trouble) Very frustrating.

 

Round 6

Boytsov keeps pecking with hooks and circling Greer like a not especially hungry shark. Greer takes his lumps for a minute and a half more before it is waved off.

Weird stoppage. Greer wasn't any more hurt than he'd been in previous rounds, and Boytsov wasn't really throwing or landing any more punches. It WAS clearly a beating with no foreseeable change in momentum, though.
