ESPN2 FNF: Boxcino Light Middleweight Quarterfinals RBR

Vito Gasparyan vs. Simeon Hardy, 6 rounds @ light middleweight

 

"Hardy hasn't been in as tough as Gasparyan has."

atsch No ****, Teddy.

Hardy actually has the biggest name on his resume (Howard Eastman x2, MD & UD) but Eastman was ancient and shot.

 

Round 1

Gasparyan is leaning in, pushing into Hardy with both forearms, held vertical, burrowing his head into Hardy's chest and working close-range body shots. Hardy backs up jabs into the top of Gasparyan's head and works some alternating left and right uppercuts into the stomach while bearing down on Gasparyan with his dropped left shoulder.

10-9 Hardy

Slow opener.

 

Round 2

Gasparyan is staying in Hardy's chest, peppering him with body shots and reaching up with right hands stuffed into his face. Hardy is backing up and slapping in with long uppercuts on the body, and stretching out a slow-motion push-jab (Wladimir K style) to hold Gasparyan off. Gasparyan leaps in and lands a light left hook on the temple of Hardy, caught partially on the outside of his glove as he quickly raises it. Neither sitting on their shots much.

10-9 Gasparyan

19-19
