Bigger's Better King of 2013: Lisbon, Portugal RBR

Round 3

Maslobojev is knocked down by a right hand while doubling a jab. Dinu rushes in as soon as Maslobojev rises and clubs him down with a left hook. Maslobojev wants to continue but the ref says he cannot.

TKO3!!

 

Damn. I was getting high on Sergei after his showing last month.

You're probably correct, Robney, in that he would be more well-suited to cruiser.

 

Good point; he should be on the other side of the draw. (and was originally).

It was supposed to be the BB 19, 20, 21, & 22 winners on the first side and the 23, 24, 25, & 26 winners on the other side.

Instead they have Dinu (23) in with 24, 26, and the replacement for 25.

:?

 

Quarterfinal #4

Fabrice Aurieng vs. Milen Paunov, 3 rounds @ heavyweight

 

Round 1

Aurieng is jogging in and out and landing right jabs and chopping lefts on the crown. Paunov is approaching the southpaw warily, putting up his left jab but unable to get close to Aurieng without eating a left hand or getting scared off with a busy flurry. Paunov down just before the bell.

10-8 Aurieng

 

Round 2

Aurieng is shoved down. Smoger warns Paunov. They flurry together and clash heads, both rocking away. Arms tangle every time they step together. Aurieng is a bit quicker, letting double or triple as many shots fly as Paunov as they repeatedly slam into knotted clinches or accidental headbutts.

10-9 Aurieng

20-18 Aurieng

 

Round 3

Aurieng is slapping his right hook around the back of Paunov's neck and trying to line up a left uppercut on the beard as Paunov is forced down halfway into a fellatio position. Paunov keeps pushing his jab and wading in, Aurieng flopping into him while flurrying or backing away. Paunov has his left arm down at his side now and is just watching Aurieng. Neither man does anything in the last minute.

10-9 Aurieng

30-27 Aurieng

 

Aurieng advances.

 

That was dreadful.

 

Semifinal #1

Evgenios Lazaridis vs. Lucian Bot, 3 rounds @ heavyweight

 

Round 1

Lazaridis is coming forward and tossing in the 1-2. Lazaridis is imposing his height and beating Bot to the punch. Lazaridis seems to have more left in his tank. Bot is just watching and shelling up. Lazaridis is tossing jabs and right hands from outside while keeping a distance, making it so Bot would have to lunge up at him. Lazaridis starts throwing longer combinations and drifting in closer. Big left hook by Bot. Lazaridis is down.

10-8 Bot
