Damian Jonak vs. Sherzod Alimovich Xusanov & Michał Leśniak vs. Ivan Njegač RBR

Anthems, first Uzbek then Polish.

 

Round 1

Xusanov is walking forward, arms bunched together, leaning down on Jonak. Quickly scuttling to his right, Jonak pokes up at the arms of Xusanov with double jabs and then plants his feet to launch a high right hand. Jonak slapping the body with light left hooks as he flits in and then pushes off to resume circling. Xusanov just turning in place and watching him, blocking, occasionally chopping down at the back of Jonak's neck when he's pecking his way inside with jabs and putting his head down to work the body. Jonak is caught a few times while spiraling in, legs uncooperative and not moving as quickly as he'd like. Xusanov lands a left upper-hook and then a flush right hand, shaking Jonak up a little.

10-9 Jonak, close, almost stolen

 

Round 2

Xusanov is jabbing and missing, then clubbing down with big telegraphed right hands from outside and usually catching at least a piece of the side of Jonak's neck. In between he is standing up tall and raising the narrowed goalposts as Jonak alternately flurries at him with straight volleys up high and rips at the body with hooks all while circling at mid-range. Jonak is very busy, poking the body underhanded with the right and then popping a double jab into Xusanov's mouth. Flush uppercut by Jonak stepping inside, bypassing the guard from beneath and cleaving it from Xusanov's body. Jonak then gasses for a moment and is caught by several stiff shots from Xusanov, having to hold on.

10-9 Jonak - again looked in trouble late but controlled 2 minutes and change before that.

20-18 Jonak

 

Starting to believe we could actually see a KO here.

 

Round 3

Xusanov is covering up as Jonak whips lead left hooks up on his tiptoes and follows up with line drive right crosses. Xusanov is waiting his turn and then lowering a drawbridge jab into Jonak's nose and swaying back to get extra leverage on a big punishing bullwhip right hand. Jonak rocked several times but flurrying back hard, staying in Xusanov's chest when he can. Several quick light jabs pumped up in a blur from below as Jonak stays inside. Xusanov works uppercuts on the breadbasket, causing Jonak to leap back and suck wind for a moment. Jonak then rushes in and starts jabbing & hooking the body again, with some pecking jabs up top feeling out Xusanov's reactive speed, throwing a looping right when he feels he has him clocked - it doens't land. Jonak rocked into the ropes by several uppercuts and chopping rights from Xusanov.

10-9 Xusanov

29-28 Jonak

 

Round 4

Xusanov is jabbing the crown of Jonak, who is hurrying counterclockwise, up on his toes, flurrying between every few steps but neither managing to get inside Xusanov's effective range nor quick enough to venture beyond his reach. Xusanov just picking him off while rotating in place, now starting to load up heavily on right hands whenever Jonak is lined up in his sights. BIG right hand by Xusanov hurts Jonak very badly, making him stumble and nearly face-plant but he catches his balance and grinds in to body up against Xusanov. BIG right hand again, turns his cheek but Jonak stays up. Jonak circles to his right and steps in to land a nice stinging left up-jab, but Xusanov answers with blunted uppercuts on the abdomen, forcing Jonak to clinch.

10-9 Xusanov

38-38

 

Round 5

Xusanov is smacking Jonak brazenly with left hooks, casually gathering his glove off his lead hip and flinging it spitefully in one boomeranging motion. Jonak is hopping around, pausing to do some ducking & weaving at long range and occasionally diving in with some jabs up top or body combos before circling out again. Xusanov catches Jonak flush with a right on the chin as Jonak shoeshines the body. Jonak tries clinching but Xusanov is pummeling him with thumping pendulums downstairs and chops up top. Jonak looks ready to go down with thirty second left on the round clock. He manages a quick trot counterclockwise and some more body flurries as Xusanov keeps hammering down on him. Jonak rocked into the ropes at the bell.

10-9 Xusanov

48-47 Xusanov

 

Only got seriously outclassed twice in the amatuers that I know of, both times against the legendary Cuban (and last man to legitimately drop Floyd Mayweather Jr.) "El Barbaro del Ring" himself, Lorenzo Aragón.

 

I was the only person to vote in my poll thread on this, and I cheekily voted on the draw, and...well...

 

Round 6

Xusanov is tired, jabbing and hooking the body but getting beaten to the punch as he fires as if underwater. Jonak is throwing lead uppercuts into the chest and ripping big hooks up top, crashing into Xusanov's ear but not hurting him visibly. Jonak putting everything he can on his shots but his power simply isn't bothering Xusanov - although he's outlanding him by a huge margin here. They slug until the bell, Jonak getting in 4-5 for every 1 of Xusanov's.

10-9 Jonak

57-57
