ESPN2 Wednesday Night Fights: Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam vs. Curtis Stevens RBR

Round 2

N'Dam N'Jikam is circling and taking pot shots with the long jab. N'Dam N'Jikam is avoiding the corners, snapping his pivots on the balls of his feet even with Stevens marching him down looking to load up on a high right hand. N'Dam N'Jikam keeps circling left, away from Stevens' left hook, bouncing on his toes.

10-9 N'Dam N'Jikam

20-18 N'Dam N'Jikam

 

N'Dam N'Jikam is going toe to toe compared with how Dirrell fought Stevens.

 

Round 3

N'Dam N'Jikam is floating like a butterfly, landing jabs on the forehead. Stevens is looking to stomp him into a corner threatening with chopping rights but can't match his foot speed or agility. N'Dam N'Jikam is easily outmaneuvering and out-jabbing Stevens. Momentary success for Stevens hitting the ribs of N'Dam N'Jikam with alternating L/R uppercuts and nearly lifting him off the canvas with them. N'Dam N'Jikam wriggles free and circles, jabbing.

10-9 N'Dam N'Jikam

30-27 N'Dam N'Jikam

 

WHAT?!?!?!? :twisted:

Sergiy Derevyanchenko fought on the undercard?!?!

Yet we sat through Marriaga vs. Martin and Lawson vs. Narh instead?

 

Round 4

N'Dam N'Jikam is shuffling quickly around Stevens, jerking his upper body away with his chin tucked making Stevens' high jab fall well short. N'Dam N'Jikam is picking Stevens off with a busy jab, throwing away plenty of misses but some also landing sharply as Stevens keeps walking into them. N'Dam N'Jikam is dazzling Stevens with his footwork, occasionally having enough spare time left over to plant his feet and pop off a machine gun combo dusting Stevens' hairline.

10-9 N'Dam N'Jikam

40-36 N'Dam N'Jikam

 

...or in the last four, outside a few body salvos. (and only when he was given terrain, never earned any)

 

Stevens out-landing N'Dam N'Jikam in jabs per ESPN's punch stats.

I guess we know they're flawed.
