Alexander Povetkin vs. Mike Perez RBR

Amazing.

 

Round 8

Leapai is walking into combos and momentarily shaken. The ref has a look but Leapai has recovered instantly despite Charr dumping a bit of leather on him. Charr is circling and jabbing in doubles and triples and dropping heavy right hands on the back of Leapai's shaven pate as the shorter man lumbers in, chin tucked, spine arched. Leapai suddenly explodes with a series of hooks as Charr is navigating by the ropes, but gets nothing through cleanly. Charr loops a BIG right hand into the ear and Leapai is badly wobbled but throwing back furiously. Uppercut by Charr at the bell.

10-9 Charr

79-72 Charr

 

Better effort, but nothing effective. Charr rolled with that first big sweeping hook by turning his face and backing up.

...and, Leapai copped maybe worse damage in the eighth than in the last several rounds, his aggression giving Charr opportunities to counter.

 

I punted a cheeky grand on the Samoan. atsch

 

:happy

I'm tempted just to watch that again instead of the 9th and 10th of this.

 

Have to hand it to Leapai, does have a chin.
