Christian M'billi Assomo-Hallier vs. Carlos Góngora Mercado & Simon Kean vs. Éric Lee Molina RBR

Simon Kean vs. Éric Lee Molina, 10 rounds @ heavyweight

 

Chronic away team/journeyman problems.

 

Round 1

Kean is jabbing at the head. Molina covering up. Not much happening until Kean scores an unintentional double leg takedown on Molina - clinch gone wrong, Molina's legs just went out.

10-9 Kean, presumably - final minute of the round lost to ESPN+ technical difficulties as their feet cut abruptly until the stool break.

 

Round 2

Molina surprises Kean with an overhand right, wobbling him! Molina forcing a brawl. Kean throwing defensive right hands, posture gone very tense, waving his gloves around each other in front of his belly on the outside. Double jab by Molina, sometimes pushed all the way through and sometimes feinting to set up a curveball right. They step together punching simultaneously and both land right hands. Molina is pushed into the ropes by a jump-in hook from Kean, but blocks most of it on his arms.

10-9 Molina, close

19-19

 

Round 3

Lots of clinching, waiting, and missed jabs from both. Lots of booing and restless jeering from the crowd. They were promised a HW slugfest and they're not exactly getting that. Molina whiffs a jab and clubs a pair of rights down across the shoulders and upper back of Kean. They collide into a clinch, separate and Molina gets in a single jab on the nose before they again tie up.

10-9 Molina

29-28 Molina
