ESPN2 FNF: Ismayl Sillakh vs. Denis Grachev & Javier Fortuna vs. Yuandale Evans RBR

Round 7

Sillakh dances around and pot shots with jabs and hooks. Grachev keeps hurling himself in like a rolling wave, praying for an overhand right to land. As in the sixth, it happens for him - once. One good flush stinging right, but again Sillakh takes it well. Grachev keeps chasing and keeping Sillakh from throwing anything. Jabs and rights by Grachev rolling in, missing or grazing.

Eh, Grachev forced the fight and didn't get countered much at all.

10-9 Grachev

 

Power punches in the 7th:

Round 8

Sillakh is lazily jabbing around Grachev, grinning cockily. Hooks on the outside by Sillakh while circling. Grachev moves straight in, throwing hard straight high shots. Sillakh isn't getting out of the way quickly enough, getting clipped. No urgency on Sillakh's part, just grinning through it and backing up with cavalier relaxation. Sillakh hurt!!!! IN A CORNER!! GRACHEV POUNDS AWAY!!

KO!!
