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

****ing Ike. :yep

Don't get me wrong, I love Ike.

Sometimes beloved figures can become aggravating when they spawn entire hordes of shitty wannabes, though.

Like Faith No More and Alice In Chains, for instance. Epic bands.

Also both cited as two of the very top influences by most of those late 90's nu-metal trend-whores. :barf

 

Someone crept up behind him and whispered "Hey look! Isn't that Lanardo Tyner over there?"

 

Round 5

Adjaho being terrible, cleaving to the ropes and flicking jabs. Julio is making do as best he can, throwing some body shots to get under the guard but still attempting to bash through it or catch Adjaho with his gloves wavering. Adjaho is getting really annoying, leaning against the ropes and thumping himself on the breadbasket, egging Julio on. Julio isn't taking the bait, but does walk straight in to a pair of snappy jabs that halt him in place and rattle him just slightly.

Ugh, closest thing to an Adjaho round just because Julio landed less than usual and did take those two lefts pretty tellingly...but...no.

50-45

 

King Kong does throw some power punches.

 

Round 6

Julio is trying to double-jab his way in and land a big right to end it. Adjaho is actually out-landing him now, slipping the jabs and plunking his own hard onto Julio's face. Julio bangs away with a low combo, hitting elbows. Wild lunging left hook by Julio misses without Adjaho even needing to slip it. Adjaho changes directions a few times, jiving Julio. Adjaho circles out wide and stares at Julio with his arms down until they get close. Adjaho looks bored. Julio keeps coming. Hook into the guard. Jab into the guard. Julio can't get a touch.

10-9 Adjaho. Damn it.

59-55 Julio
