Chris John vs. Shoji Kimura & Daud Yordan vs. Lorenzo Villanueva RBR

Round 1

Prabow - in the Indo flag trunks - is circling and jabbing on the outside. Feeling out process. Jun is more hot to trot, jabbing aggressively up at Prabow's head while taking lunge steps in with his left leg. Jabs scoring well for Jun. Prabow just spins and watches him, gloves up. A bit of shimmying on the outside by Prabow. Unnecessary movement, as Jun isn't throwing that many punches at him. Just a few jabs. Ohhh, Prabow caught by an overhand right behind a setup jab. Prabow darts in with his own right hand and misses.

10-9 Jun

 

Very true. :nod

 

Round 2

Jun finds success with an in-and-out attack, turning and jabbing the Indy beanpole and tagging him with rights from his flanks as he ups the velocity to get around him. They clinch a bit as Prabow marches in on him, but are quickly spread apart by the ref. Jun dances around, landing jabs. Prabow can't lay a hand on him, missing badly with rights from outside. Prabow isn't using his length effectively. Pawing jabs, no snap and no full extension. Wavy left hooks from outside. Jun avoiding everything, darting in and out and pecking away.

20-18 Jun

 

Interestingly, I think the local boy is the one being fed to the visitor here. :think

Just had a peek at their records.

Jun is 2-0, while Prabow has only ever fought once before - and lost by knockout. Eleventh round knockout. Having debuted in a title fight. :blood

 

One for the archives, definitely.

Maybe it's just the heat of the moment, but I want to say it was even better than Lopez vs. Concepcion.

 

Round 3

Jun is making the most of his shorter arms, stepping deftly inside the offensive zone of Prabow and needling him with quick jabs. Constant movement by Jun. Very tidy boxing, and no signs of fatigue. Prabow has his hands low, just flinging up some lazy jabs while following Jun around. Prabow tries a right hand, blocked and countered by a Jun overhand right. Combo downstairs by Jun before ducking and scampering off to the side. Jun circles left and churns the air with his jab, well outside but practicing his rhythm. Prabow can't catch up to him.

30-27 Jun

 

Depends on whether you're watching Indonesian TV or French. :good

The former isn't showing this current swing bout, the latter is.

 

No. :|

 

Round 4

Jun is staying elusive, tracking left, jabbing Prabow in the face. Prabow for his part has ramped up his aggression, throwing more jabs and actually stretching them across the gap but still not reaching Jun as he ducks and moves his head while keeping hunched low. Jun changes directions to keep Prabow spinning about face, and jabs him from every angle.

Getting boring, but Jun's boxing is impressive.

40-36 Jun
