ESPN2/3 FNF: Anthony Dirrell vs. Kevin Engel RBR

Right, calm down fellas! There are many keystrokes in a short span of time during these things, in case you hadn't noticed. Mistakes happen.

Round 5

Martinez is clobbering his way in with powerful and short right hands and pushing down on Elegele's arms when the unbeaten southpaw inevitably clinches. Nice left hook by Martinez! The pressure is starting to make Elegele change his patterns, looking to peck less and run more. Martinez is clinging to him like Glad wrap, of the punch-you-in-the-face variety (least popular among soccer moms). Elegele is still swinging his right arm looking to flip out jabs and coming forward at times when Martinez eases off the pedal, but looks to be giving away a great deal of control in this round.

10-9 Martinez

47-47

 

Round 6

Martinez is swooping in with uppercuts, head bowed in anticipation of the clinch and then sawing away on the inside with both arms. Elegele is putting his right foot forward, knee bent and lobbing straight left hands now - both as leads and behind the right flip-jab. He is able to walk Martinez around the ring with the threat of that 1-2 but isn't landing much of it. Martinez is circling and looking for spots to get inside and b ang. Elegele lands a left hand right on the button as Martinez is navigating the ropes, but is knocked back by a glancing overhand right. Elegele landed cleaner but Martinez's shot had more of an effect. :think Telling.

10-9 Elegele

57-56 Elegele
