Denton Vassell vs. Samuel Colomban & Matty Askin vs. Roman Kracik RBR

Round 9

Vassell ducks and hurls himself in at Colomban shoulder first. Colomban is warned for something by Howard Foster, unclear what. Headbutt? Low blow? Colomban is now pumping his left and right straight through while backing up, and Vassell is trying to counter over them with power hooks as he charges after. Both are landing a bit. Now Vassell gets Colomban driven back against the ropes and digs in with hooks to the body. Vassell using a lot of elbow to finish off his hooks. Colomban has his arms folded up and is smacking back with short light counters. They break and get out to the center of the ring where Vassell lunges in with right hand leads, missing at first but then setting them up behind his jab and doing a bit better. Colomban leans in, trying a left hook but having it knocked aside by Vassell's arm. Body shots by Vassell, hard stuff. Colomban grabs him. Uppercuts to the body attempted by Colomban but Vassell is holding him back by the upper arms and making him reach and miss.

Round 11

Jabs are exchanged from outside. Vassell is just tossing his out haphazardly, obviously eager to get back inside and bang the body. Colomban is hanging on the jab as his last hope, trying to keep Vassell out but unable to find him when he moves his head. Vassell grinds him into a corner and works some body shots, with Colomban predictably whining about phantom low blows.

Chopping right hand and left hook to the head by Vassell as Colomban tries to hold.

10-9 Vassell

118-109 Vassell

 

Somehow Halling and Watt seem to think Colomban deserved the 12th because he defended a bit better and got hit less than in previous rounds. :blood

He also didn't land anything...

 

That's one reason Oscar stopped hanging out with him. Poor wing man.

(plus Ricky kept blowing all his rails)
