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

Who is this ****ing poseur??

Where the hell is BK???? :fire

 

Round 1

Revish jabs to the body. Ali hangs outside, forearms up in a catlike stance, circling. Quick bursts of fire from Ali, straight rights and left hooks. Revish is trying to head-slip and throw short punches straight down the middle on Ali, but isn't connecting. Hook to the body by Revish misses. Ali is digging low to the hip of Revish, and gets just barely clipped with a counter left. He grins. Revish ducks down as Ali is coming forward attacking and leaves his head wide open for a downward right cross. Ali thumps him with a hard shot but Revish comes right back and lands a hook. Revish is clowning and sticking his tongue out to razz Revish. Ali dances around, ultra calm and confident, picking off jabs. He gets hooked in the face again. He isn't being overly careful.

10-9 Ali but his cockiness is making it not the total outclassing one might have expected it to be.

 

Round 2

Revish is darting in and out, leaving his lead foot dangling just over the mat without touching down, springing on his rear knee. Lots of body feints, not much actual punching. Ali is dancing around, anticipating his moves and waiting to counter. Revish throws a right to the body and falls short, and Ali just misses a counter hook. They're both reaching from the outside and not landing much. Revish targets the body while Ali tries to line up his head for a big right hand. OOH, nice left hook by Ali, rattles Revish. He goes down a moment later. Bounces right back up, beats the count at 8. Revish throws a right to the body, short. Revish is coming forward now attacking hard, trying to show the knockdown didn't shake him. Ali is tagging him with solid counters. Revish is showing no fear, but is back to cautious darting and springing rather than barging in like he did in the moments after he got up. WHOA!! Big hooker-cut from Ali!! Revish has his neck snapped but doesn't go down! Tough cookie!

20-17 Ali

 

Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what punch(es) actually dropped him...but there was a really nice left hook about four seconds earlier that probably paved the way for it.

 

Per replay from various angles: It was a cuffing wrist on the temple as Revish ducked a hook. :conf

Not the most legitimate knockdown I've ever seen, nor the least.
