Devin Miles Haney vs. Ryan García Quesada & Arnold Barboza, Jr. vs. Seán McComb RBR

Round 5

Another head clash, sheesh. One messy orthodox vs. southpaw matchup, worst case scenario when it comes to styles as far as skull bumps. Dibombé is knocked down by an overhand left moments later, and disputes it. TIme out called, as they check on both men's cuts. They could probably stop it based on either one and just go to a TD now, but they're given the green light to fight on. Dibombé staying in Melikuziev's chest, popping a high stiff left jab even as blood obscures half of his vision. Melikuziev grabs him and tosses him bodily into the ropes. Dibombé's already dicey balance is shot to hell now that he is partially blinded from the cut. He's skittering around with every blocked left hand from Melikuziev. Sustained bombardment of right hooks and lefts from Melikuziev. Dibombé wobbled but survives.

10-8 Melikuziev

50-44 Melikuziev

 

The doctor having to sprint around the ring to check out both of them during the stool break.

 

Round 6

Dibombé is getting hit with torpedo lefts on the waist, but countering with right hands into Melikuziev's forehead. Dibombé's balance again betrays him, legs splayed awkwardly. Melikuziev starting to land short light 1-2s against the face of Dibombé, lulling him (and probably worsening his cut), and then switching to harder looping lefts as he steps out to mid-range. Dibombé is bouncing his back off the ropes, hopping in behind goalposts and grinding his way into a clinch. Wild left hook swing and miss by Dibombé.

10-9 Melikuziev

60-53 Melikuziev
