Arthur Abraham vs. Robert Stieglitz II RBR

Barrie Jones gave Nadia Raoui the 5th.

Why don't you marry her, Barrie? :roll:

 

OK, to be fair the replay shows that a few of Raoui's uppercuts inside did snap McMorrow's head back...

Still, too much disparity in their productivity.

 

Round 6

McMorrow barks and jabs ducking in, then brings the right hand over the top. Raoui dances away with her 1-2 brushing McMorrow's hair. McMorrow eats a clubbing right but lands her own to back Raoui up. They clinch with Raoui pushing down on McMorrow's back. Flurry up top by McMorrow.

10-9 McMorrow

59-55 McMorrow

 

:deal

 

Round 7

McMorrow is peppering the body with light taps around the side and jabbing straight up into Raoui's not-so-ample chest. 1-2-1-2 to the face by McMorrow reaching up. Raoui is fighting defensively now, pushing a counter right while circling and getting her face turned by McMorrow's, almost flinching before they land.

10-9 McMorrow

69-64 McMorrow

 

Round 8

McMorrow is jabbing the body and going for a Marquez vs. Pacquiao IV style right hand up top when Raoui opens up with her counter hooks. Neither is landing cleanly but McMorrow is much busier and making partial contact on each flurry. Raoui fires a right hand but it curls around behind McMorrow's head. Body flurries by McMorrow.

10-9 McMorrow

79-73 McMorrow

 

25 minutes of sweating and stamina holding up.

Imagine the possibilities. :hey

 

Round 9

McMorrow is charging in, squatting under Raoui's straight counter right, and coming up with hooks and flurries into the face. Raoui is pivoting on the backfoot to slip a few shots and cocking the hammer for her counter right as she does so, but mostly just grazing the top of McMorrow's head.

10-9 McMorrow

89-82 McMorrow

 

Round 10

McMorrow punches straight into Raoui's rack, then hooks her in the jaw. McMorrow is scoring nicely with power punches up top now, but completely spreading the legs of her defense and inviting Raoui to penetrate with her big hooks. McMorrow shoulder tackles her across the ring and pushes off for another flurry. Raoui snaps a jab into the champion's face and wings in a counter behind the ear while getting driven back.

10-9 McMorrow, but close & entertaining finish.

99-91 McMorrow
