Amir Iqbal Khan vs. Bilal Dib & Lerato Dlamini vs. Dave Andreo Pumar Peñalosa RBR

This content is protected

they started a new stream for the Dlamini-Penalosa fight apparently

 

thank you!

 

Mick Jnr. Stands tall, long neck, hands low

 

The southpaw Filipino is stalking, always squared up to Dlamini, prodding with the right jab, not able to really open up on him until the final minute, nice left hand and right hook, Dlamini shaken a little.

29-28 Peñalosa

 

Amir Iqbal is 32?! For some reason I thought he was 35...

 

Kell only has himself to blame. He waited too long for the Khan fight while Khan was taking every opportunity out there to make money.

How do you guys think Khan got this fight in the first place?

He went out there and networked with big fish with enough money who could put on this type of event. Khan has been talking about fighting in the Middle East for years and it finally happened. He put it out there and eventually other promotors took note and they made it happen (Smith-Groves for example). These people have INSANE amounts of money and a rapdily changing social fabric. The Arabs are desperate for positive exposure and will throw money at sporting events. People, Amir Khan got $11,000,000 for 4 rounds of easy work.

Anyway....the point is that Khan has ALWAYS had options because, as dumb and deluded as he is, he has worked and put himself in positions to take advantage of opportunities that helped create for himself.
This is what his (racist) haters will NEVER understand - the man WORKED for his his money while his haters just kept getting more bitter with resentment.

Contrast that to Kell....he builds a fanbase off the Khan beef (2010 onwards) but doesnt fully take advantage of using this new fame to get some other big fights in the meantime. Its just Khan Khan Khan on his lips.

Then.....

Signs with Hearn - Britain's biggest promoter and Sky Sports juggernaunt with him - and he STILL doesn't take advantage and still only has Khan on his mind instead of fighting other better known names.

Then he finally beats Porter and decides to have a homo/cocaine binge in LanzaGrotty (the chavvest place ever...tells you his state of mind...a bottom feeder) and gets stabbed for beefing with a gay guy.

Then because of his defence obligations he gets tied up with the worst matches before going onto getting his face smashed in twice back to back and struggling with his sanity and confidence ever since.

If I missed out on something please fill in the blanks.

 

Internet went out, missed the fourth...Dlamini seems to be coming on strong in the fifth.

 

Two rounds apiece but somebody is up 48-47...not sure who though as I missed round 4.

 

Not a beautiful mesh of styles but neither the worst.

 

4 - 1 Dlamini imo

good footwork and sense of distance but a little too much wasted movement

 

lerato forgets most of the time that he's fighting a southpaw. Peñalosa would be better forgetting about "technicalities", just a BIG left hand whenever lerato comes into distance will make the job. Just that, lerato is too open to a southpaw fighting like he's doing.

 

Tit for tat sixth, edge to Peñalosa, meaning 57 all (I'm trusting Paulie Malignaggi saying Dlamini won the 4th)

 

This is far and away the best fight of the night. It’s a shame most of the crowd seems to have left

 

Well, the fight is ****, man. Full of mistakes by both of them. B fighters at best. I'm not going to be mean, because they are just starting (12 fights or so?) but it this fight is the best of the night, thanks god I didnt watch the other ones.

 

South African is slick and might be a force at 126?
