Alexander Povetkin vs. Mariusz Wach & Denis Lebedev vs. Lateef Kayode RBR

They are often fairly objective. :good

 

2 kayos in 48 bouts...

I do still think eventually Troyanovsky is a knockout waiting to happen, based on the writing on the wall from way back in the Lacerda fight...but it won't be tonight, obviously.

 

Round 5

Troyanovsky is baiting Cuenca with short, telegraphed left hooks thrown at his temple with no lower-body involvement, just slashes of his arm. Cuenca is scrambling around the challenger and keeping a tight guard in front of his face, pecking with the southpaw jab and occasionally bending his knees to load up body shots on the way by. Huge uppercut by Troyanovsky. Cuenca hurt, but jumps right back at him with a flurry, then spins his way free with quick feet.

10-9 Troyanovsky

50-45 Troyanovsky

 

Round 6

Cuenca is throwing less, keeping his face protected while hustling around Troyanovsky. Straight anti-aircraft shots from the challenger, barely picking his feet up, just turning on ball and toe and sizing the elusive champion up. Troyanovsky grazes with a gazelle left upper-hook leaping into Cuenca. Troyanovsky's momentum slams him bodily into Cuenca, who falls, with Troyanovsky's knee clipping him in the face. Cuenca already had cuts on his eyes but now has more. The ref examines Cuenca, then waves his arms.

OVER! TKO or TD, however? :think
