Craig Kennedy vs. Iain Jackson & Romeo Romaeo vs. Krzysztof Rogowski RBR

Round 3

Romaeo is bouncing on the balls of his feet and flicking the right jab up into Rogowsi's face. Rogowski is pivoting and swinging his legs around to face up to Romaeo, back and forth between orthodox and southpaw, and from either stance looking to spring forward straight at Romaeo and land a 1-2. Romaeo keeps off-center, shifting his weight foot to foot and rear to fore, alighting behind or to the side of Rogowski and occasionally swooping in low with body shots or just standing up straight and leaned slightly back tossing in the light right jab.

10-9 Romaeo

30-27 Romaeo

 

Round 4

Romaeo jabs in and Rogowski gets hold of him and they both hurtle in between two of the middle ropes!! They land together in a heap at the inner edge of the ring and the ref checks on both, apparently unsure as to whose fault it was or whether admonition is called for. Romaeo is bouncing to his left, popping long right jabs and falling a few inches shy of Rogowski's face. Rogowski runs in and presses Romaeo into the ropes, immediately tied up. Break. Rogowski pumps a 1-2-1-2 and Romaeo is clipped by a right hand and ties up again. Quick combination by Romaeo, right hook left hand right hook, all very fast and light. Rogowski leans forward, letting shots brush the back of his skull. Rogowski lands a body shot as Romaeo is sliding off the ropes and running clear across the ring. Rogowski again shrugs at the crowd apologetically, seeming to say "Blame him, not me..." Romaeo whips in a fast double left hand up top, hitting Rogowski across the upper back. Rogowski keeps grinding Romaeo into the ropes, where he is held onto and pushed down upon for some time until the last bell.

10-9 Romaeo

40-36 Romaeo

 

Ah yes. Well it's Cardiff. You were expecting high class? :yep

UD for Romeo Romaeo

 

Color me unimpressed with Romaeo.

Good foot speed (and OK hand speed) and catlike agility, but no pop and shameful disrespect toward his opponent and the sport with the prancing and showboating, his defense seemingly totally reliant on athleticism.

"There's only ooooone Craig Kennedy...walking along, singing a song, walking in a Kennedy wonderland!! :drink"

 

They are running some auction now. They should be getting the main event over with so it doesn't clash with the Bigger's Better final. :twisted: (right now over in Lisbon there is a special attraction kickboxing match which I could not care less about...)
