ESPN2 FNF: Joel Julio vs. Anges Adjaho & Sadam Ali vs. John Revish RBR

Round 1

Julio comes forward, rolling his shoulders. Steady 1-2 attack from Julio, a few hooks coming forward, hitting glove. Adjaho (who doesn't look as small in there as I'd expected next to Julio) is boxing tall, backing up and jabbing Julio on the bridge of the nose. Julio is pressuring him constantly. Adjaho is landing more jabs than Julio is landing anything, though. Tough round to score so far. Nice hook around the gloves by Julio. Adjaho quickens his pace circling around, hugging the ropes. BIG 1-2 by Julio! Adjaho was knocked back against the ropes but not badly hurt. Adjaho gets back to circling left and jabbing. Julio starts to finally pop his own jab coming forward. Double jab and then right cross to the body by Julio. Adjaho pops his jab and slips a left hook from Julio.

Very tight :think

10-9 Julio

 

:happy

I am happy for you, despite you calling me names.

That's what a super guy IB is!!

 

:yep

It's like, "I'll catch up to him eventually...without shifting gears or moving in anything other than a straight line..."

 

I'm weird.

 

Round 2

Julio continues on his tractor beam toward AA. Julio is at least jabbing now, doing a bit better than in round 1 to get up close. Julio is bringing that left hand back high all the way to return position by his chin. Nice tight boxing by Julio from the waist up, but still he's just following Adjaho around. Double jab and right cross are slipped as Adjaho gets his right hand up to protect his jaw and leans off to the side while backing up. Adjaho keeps getting caught up on the ropes and throws single jabs to get space. Julio is throwing in combination. Two jabs, two rights, and another left. Julio is winning on activity and landing some body punches. Adjaho is living and dying by his occasional jab.

20-18 JJ

 

It was supposed to be Julio vs. Antwone Smith, but Smith pulled out.
