Alexander Povetkin vs. Mike Perez RBR

Round 2

Bivol is ripping into Vegas with body combos from outside and then cruising laterally to dodge counters. Vegas is flicking jabs up backhanded from the hip and launching big overhand rights hoping to catch Bivol blind, but not able to time him. Consistent dusting of light body combos outside by Bivol.

10-9 Bivol

20-18 Bivol

 

:yep

 

:nod

 

The ESPN3 stream only works for US residents who are ESPN subscribers, I'm fairly certain.

 

Round 3

Bivol has Vegas backing up with a deluge of jabs and body combinations, alternating between the paddling and skewering variety. Bivol starts to bring the heat up top and Vegas wavers. Bivol smells blood and pours it on!! BIG HOOKS AND CROSSES!! Vegas down from accumulation. He beats the count but doesn't look too long for this world. More VICIOUS combos by Bivol. Vegas down again! Up! Saved by the bell!!

10-7 Bivol

30-25 Bivol

 

Joey V has balls of steel. No way he should be seeing a 4th (not that it will last more than a few seconds..)

 

Round 4

Bivol is feinting with jabs, backing Vegas into the ropes. Vegas twitches his left bicep up to parry while bending over backwards in the Philly shell. Vegas manages to spin Bivol onto the ropes, driving a stiff forearm into his middle. Bivol reverses position on him, spinning Vegas into the ropes and teeing off with combos off the jab. Vegas apparently catches a thumb in his right eye and falls to his knees, clutching his face. He's done.

TKO4!!
