Christopher Colbert vs. Tögstsogt Nyambayar & Michel Rivera Medina vs. Jon Fernández Dominguez RBR.

I’m kidding bub. Head movement isnt a big part of his game.

 

I could see him doing a Linares type of job on Haney, they both have similar handspeed and actually share a lot of similarities style-wise but I know who has more pop of the two.

 

Steve Farhood has it 67-65 Fernández, which is the reverse of the score all three official judges had.

 

Not even KOOTD. (check out Vicelles vs. Mama from this morning)

 

Fernandez is a solid operator and this is a great step up for Rivera, a true establishment of his status as a world level operator in his own right. Might deserve to be ranked top 10 at lightweight now. Champs will be hearing from him soon and I could see him upsetting Haney in particular so he could be someone to watch out for.

 

Whose Mama?

 

Rivera-Fernandez had the aesthetic value of a slow motion faceplant. Think it shades the day, as of right now.

I did, actually. And I'm starting to be saddened by this.

 

Thunder's southpaw 1-2 had a lovely impact and created a very satisfying perspiration spray, and Mama fell like a ton of bricks.

Rivera's was a semi-flush jab followed by an even less clean right cross as Jonfer was turning his body to slip and roll (unsuccessfully, as it turned out). Idk, even factoring in Jonfer's couple of seconds of hangtime the Pinoy one is more to my taste.
