Ash-Shakur Nafi Stevenson vs. Toka Kahn-Clary & Félix Verdejo Sánchez vs. Masayoshi Nakatani RBR

Clay Jordan Collard vs. Quincy Frank LaVallais, 8 rounds@ middleweight

 

Cut from a butt (on LaVallais) midway into rd five.

Collard tbf is sort of hunching forward and thrusting his forehead out while uppercutting downstairs, but doesn't seem flagrantly intentional so much as just a quirk of his form/carelessness.

 

. Both carry their hands riskily low 90% of the time and yet both are throwing (and landing) virtually all whipping underhanded body punches.

 

Yeah, nothing to write home about. Probably for the best they left this off the main card. At least Berlanga promises thrills (although he is yet to 'earn' upper billing yet).

 

Crystina Poncher doing play by play? Since when?

She actually isn't doing bad.

 

QFL probably swung a majority of those rounds with occasional eye-catching overhand rights catching Collard unawares and flush...but honestly a lackadaisical performance from both guys. Very sparr-y, and lots of posing and overthinking.

 

Official cards:

78-74
77-75
77-75

UD for LaVallais

 

Idk... beaten them, sure - but only Bully Melikuziev has stopped Collard and it took him until the fourth. Dude's flawed but tough.

Oh, with eleven minutes left on the game clock, wonderful.
