*** Dmitry Pirog vs. Javier Maciel RBR - live on ESPN3.com ***

****. Live rappers in the ring now. :fire

Russian Michael Buffer looks SO UNCOMFORTABLE!!! :rofl

 

May the best man win. :yep

 

WTF?

Nagaev's trunks are hoisted up WAY too high!! You can barely fit your hand between the belt and his nipples! The referee can't possibly allow this??

The referee, btw - looks like a skinny 12 year old version of Sergei Liakhovich. This dude can't be out of college yet. I've never seen such a young ref, ever.

 

OK, when Nagaev hops around a little bit after being introduced the trunks sort of scoot down a bit. They aren't as high as I thought, just very loose and with an outer layer that bounces up.

Rahimov's are kind of high, too.

 

Here we go. Uzbekistan vs. Russia!

 

Rahimov must be five or six inches shorter!!!

 

Round 1

Rahimov is actually pushing forward despite being so tiny. Both are throwing and missing. Jabs from and shoeshines to the body by Nagaev, and uppercuts and overhands from Rahimov. Nagaev starts to land to the body as they lean against each other. Rahimov is trying to wrestle Nagaev, but :rofl:rofl:rofl He's so itty bitty. This is ridiculous. It's like watching a toddler wrestle a teenager. Wow. Rahimov pushes him back a little. Man up, Nagaev. Rahimov pushes Nagaev's hands down in the clinch and pops him with an overhand right to the jaw!! More wrestling. Body shots from Nagaev. Rahimov just presses into nagaev's chest and keeps working his hands. Double jab from Rahimov when they break. BIG right hand to the face by Rahimov!! Go little man!!

10-9 Rahimov

Nagaev landed good body shots and a couple of nice flurries, but the two flush right hands from Rahimov were the cleanest connections.

 

Round 2

Rahimov swarms the taller boxer, and slaps away at him from several angles. The crowd wakes up and whistles before going back to sleep. Nagaev backs up and throws underhand body shots while trying to pry Rahimov off his chest. Lots of body shots landing. Left hook to the jaw by Nagaev. Even more body shots by Nagaev. 1-2 by Rahimov, turns Nagaev's head in either direction. BANG on the kisser, authoritative jab by Nagaev. Rahimov keeps slapping up high to swarm in. Catches Nagaev with a short left hook in an exchange. They wrestle. Nagaev works the body and then swings his arm up and over to crash into Rahimov's head. Rahimov fights him back with a fierce combo. Nagaev answers. Good back and forth. Body shots by Nagaev. Rahimov blocks some jabs. Body shots by Nagaev. Slaps by Rahimov, blocked. Body shots by Nagaev. 1-2 to the face by Nagaev. Blocked right hand from Rahimov

19-19
