Christian Hammer vs. Kevin Johnson RBR

Seriously, here is all that we have to look forward to on the broadcast:

Marcin Rekowski vs. Serdar Uysal, 8 rounds @ heavyweight

Rekowki is an up and coming but late-blooming 35-year-old Polish KO artist, but he is matched very weakly here for being 11-0 (10) and having already fought the likes of Danny Williams. Uysal has been kayoed over a dozen times including by Christian Hammer twice, along with Kubrat Pulev, Mike Wallisch, Konstantin Airich, Jovo Pudar (the giant useless lump Chagaev just beat up), Robert Helenius, Cedric Boswell, Yakup Saglam, and several journeymen. :!:

Nuri Seferi vs. Steve Herelius, 10 rounds @ cruiserweight

Seferi is the "Albanian Tyson". Herelius has been KTFO thrice in row now. Enough said.

 

Huh, it seems the cruisers are up first. Maybe we'll only be getting two matches from EuroSport, unless they are putting Rekowski vs. Uysal on after this. Two hours is a long time slot for a pair of 10-rounders that both could end within schedule. :think

We could be all done by an hour from now. :yep

 

Nuri Seferi vs. Steve Herelius, 10 rounds @ cruiserweight

 

Both of these guys are Euro level. Both are 37 years old. Both have mixed with some of the best @ CW over the years, generally losing. (Herelius does hold a victory over Firat Arslan...)

Both have a complex jumble of nationality and ethnicity. (Herelius is African-French, while Seferi is a Swiss-Albanian-Greek)

Similarities end there. Herelius is a cutie southpaw (with speed and moderate pop but cursed with glass whiskers), Seferi lives up to exactly what you would expect of someone dubbed "The Albanian Tyson" - in both style and quality. :!:

 

Round 1

Seferi drives Herelius into a corner with roundhouse blows and downward hammer fists on the sides, chin tucked and point of the crown of his skull digging into Herelius' chest. Long volley to the body by Seferi as Herelius lays against the turnbuckle and covers his face. Seferi lets him jog laterally out to center ring where Herelius flashes his right jab out in quick fluttering motions. Seferi hacks at it with his own ugly left jab.

10-9 Seferi

 

Hey Lady! (you can't tell but I spoke this out loud while typing it, with a Jerry Lewis voice)

 

Arslan gassed and dehydrated. IIRC he was up on the cards, or should've been.

I like Arlsan too but he doesn't have much of a punch, especially given that he couldn't get rid of the chinny Herelius by the eleventh.
