Round 1. Flanagan 10-9 close
Round 2. Lebedev 10-9 close

Another quiet round. Odd decent shot from one fighter or the other.

 

Flanagan boxing pretty well so far. Not much in these rounds and Lebedev has yet to make significant contact.

 

R1 Lebedev 10-9
R2 Lebedev 10-9 close

Slim pickings again. Lebedev for more consistency.

 

Round 2

Lebedev is drawing the lead, stalking, countering with southpaw jabs and pulling away from all of Flanagan's 1-2's, making him lunge and come up short. Flanagan is doubling up on his left jab but entering Lebedev's wheelhouse and getting popped with light counter right jabs. Lebedev mostly sheathing his power hand, keeping the left cocked by his chin, waiting for a perfect spot up top but drilling a few into Flanagan's midsection.

10-9 Lebedev

19-19

Round 3

Lebedev is gnat-stinging Flanagan with the peskily soft right jab, taunting & toying with him before receding in one fluid motion before any counterattack is surmountable. Lebedev moving in and out very smoothly, boxing nicely from outside, scoring points with just the jab and occasional lefts prodding the neckline or looped into the ribs. Flanagan unable to find his distance with his straighter punches, getting frustrated.
