FS1: Sergey Lipinets vs. Levan Ghvamichava & Sergiy Derevyanchenko vs. Mike Guy RBR

Round 2

Ghvamichava is rolling over a sandbagging right hand from a tight guard, following a throwaway/setup jab. Lipinets is changing speeds while circling him, breaking into a trot and scoring a check hook as he turns Ghvamichava. Long clubbing right behind the ear by Lipinets, delivered just as Ghvamichava was about to start his own punching sequence and cowing him into clamping his gloves tightly overhead for an extended moment, enough for Lipinets to pick up his tent stakes and start another full revolution around him. Body shot by Ghvamichava. Straight right by Ghvamichava. Lipinets is zigzagging and stepping in and out in straight lines, testing Ghvamichava's accuracy with the jab, not letting him touch with it but letting him get close, intentionally. Lipinets reading his opponent, feeling out the boundaries.

10-9 Lipinets

19-19

 

The mere fact that he and Berto are both at ringside and wearing mics is making this feel like I'm watching Fellini's Satyricon. :verysad

 

Oh. In the ring, you think he meant? I just assumed he was dispensing a recommendation of bondage incest scat.

 

Round 3

Ghvamichava is standing in with Lipinets, staying near him, keeping the front of his toes aligned with or just an inch beyond Lipinets'. Lipinets throwing faster, sharper punches and slightly busier. Ghvamichava loading up and crashing pendulum hooks into the body. Lipinets counters with a compact left hook up top. Jabs traded at close range as Ghvamichava continues to match Lipinets step for step and remain in tight quarters.

10-9 Ghvamichava, close

29-28 Ghvamichava

 

"A heads-up headset"? :think

 

Round 4

Ghvamichava is allowing Lipinets to froth up quick whirring headhunting combos, plowing forward and taking most of them on his forearms. Ghvamichava concentrating on cutting the ring off as Lipinets flashes double hooks. Ghvamichava exploding with sudden body shot counters, exploiting gaps left when Lipinets is firing and putting in emphatic follow-through. Ghvamichava throwing powerful hooks downstairs and tying a tourniquet on Lipinets' escape route with a chopping right on the neck.

10-9 Ghvamichava

39-37 Ghvamichava
