Denis Lebedev vs. Youri Kalenga RBR

Round 1

Chakhkiev is using his right jab to cow Brudov into a low dipping crouch, straight down vertically with his knees spreading out in a curtsy. Chakhkiev leans forward and digs a right hook on the chest after blocking a 1-2 on an incline from Brudov. Lots of inside trading, both mean leaning together in a steeple formation.

10-9 Chakhkiev

 

:nod

 

Chak looking solid.

 

Round 2

Chakhkiev is shoving Brudov into a submissive hop with his right jab, ramming with it rather than snapping it, and then drilling hard lefts to head and body. Brudov is feeling them. Chakhkiev is tied up on the inside but is the stronger man, able to wrestle Brudov off. Big roundhouse left hand on the jaw behind a right jab from Chakhkiev and Brudov holds again.

10-9 Chakhkiev

20-19 Chakhkiev

Round 3

Chakhkiev is throwing right jabs, left crosses, and right upper-hooks, probing for weaknesses in Brudov's defense. He finds it. Right hook on the ribs, BIG sweeping left on the face as Brudov's arms drop. Brudov airborne and lands on his butt. Brudov beats the count. Chakhkiev is content to work behind the right jab, not forcing the issue, just continuing to break his man down. Chakhkiev is stepping in, jabbing the belly and pulling out before Brudov can counter. Brudov is jittery, nervous on the outside, throwing 1-2s and getting countered with body shots. Brudov ties up. Lead left uppercut by Brudov leaning in. Chakhkiev ducks and weaves and hits the body before Brudov clinches. Wild slapping combo up top by Chakhkiev jumping on Brudov.

10-8 Chakhkiev

30-26 Chakhkiev

 

Damn, son.

 

Round 4

Chakhkiev is ripping a hard right jab into the face of Brudov now, giving him no quarter. Big left uppercuts by Chakhkiev. Brudov can't handle the power & pressure. Brudov goes down from accumulation. Ruled a slip. Brudov is bleeding from somewhere on the head. Clinch. Chakhkiev is slamming the left uppercut into Brudov's liver and yanking himself outside to dodge Brudov's desperate left jabs and 1-2s. Big overhand right by Chakhkiev while Brudov is holding onto his right glove. Another big left, skipping over Brudov's gloves and banging him on the button. Brudov down and OUT, flat on his back!

KO4!!
