Alexander Petkovic vs. Chup-aki Chipindi & Juan Carlos Gomez vs. Adnan Buharalija RBR

Round 3

Petkovic is giving Chipindi no respect, walking in with his left arm straight down against his thigh and flipping jabs up into Chipindi's face, looking to open up an exchange of straight punches. Chipindi is bossed into a corner and Petkovic throws a right hand over a timely duck to graze his backside once more. Chipindi is holding and smacking Petkovic on the flanks. Petkovic fishes with the jab lazily, reaching in, stirring it like a ladle in the vicinity of Chipindi's face. Wide counter hooks by Chipindi, attempting to get his arms curled around Petkovic's neck to hold onto him. Petkovic shrugs him off and backs out to mid-range, throwing jab feints once there. Clinch by Chipindi.

10-9 Petkovic

30-27 Petkovic

 

Round 4

Petkovic is drilling rights to the body and walking through Chipindi's jab with a tight cross-armed guard, body scrunched up in an uncomfortable-looking question mark as he pressures. Petkovic is leading with rising left hooks from the hip and just missing as Chipindi backs straight up and counters with grazing right hands on the chin. Big series of alternating uppercuts by Petkovic rocking Chipindi into a corner, and then down.

TKO4!!

 

You & the nail:

:beat


...right on the head! :good

 

Chewbacca gave a respectable account of himself, provided he wanted to establish a reputation as "the Wabena John Ruiz".

 

I'll bet you a million dollars Wladimir ducks him. :-(

 

Swing bout! :wooo

 

Shefat Isufi vs. Vasile Dragomir, 6 rounds @ light heavyweight

 

The habitual quitter from Romania (coming off three consecutive stool retirements) has thrice as much experience as the unbeaten Albanian-Serb prospect...and way more experience getting trounced. :bbb

edit: Holy crap, he once got knocked out by onetime Amir Khan rival Jon Thaxton! Yes, way down at lightweight! :shock:
