ESPN2 FNF: Zahir Raheem vs. Bayan Jargal & Juan Rodriguez vs. Yenifel Vicente RBR

Teddy can suck a dick. ZR did beautiful work there.

 

Round 4

Raheem is crouching in under Jargal's jab, rising up with a right hand to obstruct Jargal's vision and then slamming him with an unseen left hook. Raheem skates out and waits for Jargal to move forward, then whacks into his ribs with lead hooks. Raheem sails over the top with a right hand from several paces out. Raheem is bouncing around on his toes, letting Jargal jab in on him and pivoting on his toes landing counters without getting touched. Triple left hook on the face by Raheem. Jargal hurtles in with a wide left hand, ending up behind Raheem with his arm hung out in the air with Raheem sidestepping and spinning.

10-9 Raheem

40-36 Raheem

 

I'm getting really pumped for Rodriguez vs. Vicente (and no, that isn't a knock on this match-up in progress, like Osuna just made... :yep)

 

Round 5

Raheem is skipping to his left, doubling up hooks as Jargal comes in, then shuffling off again. Jargal is jumping in with hard body jabs, only skimming as Raheem leaps backward. Raheem ducks a double up-jab and stays hunkered low as Jargal beaches on him. Break ordered. Raheem lands a counter right hand and then digs a hook to the body, partially blocked on Jargal's elbow. Raheem is holding out his left arm to push at Jargal, who tries reaching for body jabs but is unable to connect while held at bay.

10-9 Raheem

50-45 Raheem

 

Round 6

Jargal comes in pumping straight punches at Raheem's head. Raheem drops low and comes up with a left hook flush on the jawline of Jargal. Raheem backs out and waits for Jargal, setting traps with snap-jabs after rolling out soft pantomime jabs at range and with flurries leaping in. Raheem grabs and squeezes Jargal's head once he lands inside, letting go when asked to. Raheem is ducking in wait until Jargal is close and then vaulting up with a 1-2. Raheem is pushed into the ropes as Jargal pumps intently over his head. Raheem comes up from a duck with a huge left hook under the eye.

10-9 Raheem

60-54 Raheem
