DKP: Trevor Cosmo Bryan, Jr. vs. Bermane Stiverne RBR

Round 5

Stiverne is sticking and moving, floating left with both arms down after sniping with the jab. Bryan is lured in and clipped with a hook and scything right delivered from off the ropes before Stiverne hot-foots away. Bryan is enveloped in clinches whenever he jabs in and starts going for Stiverne's body. Stiverne blocks a power combo and hooks a short right into the lower mandible and throat of Bryan.

10-9 Stiverne, close (thought most of Bryan's jabs pushed air, though he threw more and probably got the round from the judges)

48-47 Stiverne

 

Can you imagine Stiverne beat him, though? Would have to be a part IV... and then if he won again, we'd need a tiebreaker!

(and even though Wilder in this scenario would be coming off three - likely stoppage - losses, the fight would still generate interest and get made).

 

Round 6

Bryan is drawing Stiverne into a ranged contest, his 2" disadvantage in reach becoming a moot point as Stiverne gives him a clear target hunching forward, making the Bryan head jab travel a shorter distance to land than Stiverne's own lunging body jab. Very few chances for Stiverne to land anything big. In fact, it ends up being a right hand from Bryan that gets through clean, almost the lone isolated non-jab to score in this frame.

10-9 Bryan

57-57

 

Yep. And some white guy.

edit: he just said his name, apparently he's Bob Alexander.
