Christian Hammer vs. Kevin Johnson RBR

Round 2

Seferi again drives Herelius onto the ropes with hooks just above the hip. Seferi launches a long series of high straight blows at Herelius' face, mostly churning the air while Herelius leans back deeply against the uppermost rope and tilts his chin up in the air with his neck bent away. Back out to center ring again, with Herelius waving his jab out in Seferi's path while flitting around him with short in and out hops, careful never to land too close. Seferi plods and pumps his slow left jab after the initial assault, mirror of the 1st round.

10-9 Seferi

20-18 Seferi

 

Round 3

Seferi is plodding after Herelius, pawing the left jab. It's the same thing he did in the second halves of the 1st and 2nd, except without the aggressive rush onto the ropes first. Herelius is dancing around Seferi popping in light southpaw jabs and single pushed-in straight lefts. Seferi is keeping up a very basic guard, somewhat loose, allowing jabs and lefts to get through but Herelius isn't snapping or sitting down on them and therefore not causing Seferi to slow down. (he is already pretty slow-footed, however... :!

10-9 Herelius

29-28 Seferi

 

...and found a way to lose. :verysad

Although, upon close inspection, 14 have tried and 14 have failed with Hide in the last decade.

:huh Didn't there used to be a blueprint? Namely, tap him on the jaw?

 

Round 4

Seferi is leaping in with left hooks and chasing Herelius into the ropes, making his legs wobble. Herelius goes down when their legs tangle up close as Herelius is trying to navigate past him with lateral movement as Seferi steps straight into him. Seferi follows Herelius around the ring and whips up left hooks, coming off his toes every now and then, scoring once in a great while, shuffling forward and eating soft right jabs.

10-9 Seferi, close

39-37 Seferi

 

I think we've milked all the fun that can be had out of this.

Herelius, give him a free shot and go to sleep.

...or someone get cut. Or blow a kneecap.

Let's bring on the battle of the household tools!! (hammer & pin)

 

Round 5

Seferi is following Herelius and scooping hooks at his body, falling short. Herelius is dancing around, lowering his upper body, bending over to either side and flipping up right jabs, swinging his arms by his sides and tossing either glove in at Seferi from mid-range, leaving him stymied by his speed, movement and activity level.

10-9 Herelius

48-47 Seferi

 

Nathan Cleverly could whoop either of these guys in his CW debut. :!:

Heck, old Glen Johnson (who retired Bobby Gunn this week, pitching a dominant shutout UD in which he landed jabs and right hands at will all night and would've gotten the knockout if he were a natural cruiser) probably could as well.

 

:conf I've got him slightly down, but the EuroSport commentator agrees with you.
