George Kambosos, Jr. vs. Richard Alejandro Peña & Christina Linardatou Durán vs. Deanha Hobbs RBR

Round 2

Peña is baiting Kambosos, still with the wide open target from his belt line up to his chin, leaning backward partially, floating a pawing jab, then slapping down on the crown when Kambosos steps in to punch. Switch to southpaw by Peña, continuing to peck and pot shot with jabs. Kambosos only able to get off with a hook from each hand while bustling his way inside, clopping against the sides of Peña's neck but nothing legally scoring. Very negative stuff from Peña, but effective at shutting Kambosos' offense down.

10-9 Peña, close

19-19

 

Could be a cherry-pick gone awry unless GKJ begins to show a little more ring IQ (or lands a game-changer) here..

 

Round 3

Peña is forking out left jabs from long-range, thrust out from his side while turned 45° away from Kambosos. Peña just keeps tapping him on the chin from afar, keeping a careful distance, never letting Kambosos shorten the gap. Kambosos using some head movement on the way in but Peña manages to always find it with the jab after pumping out a few adjustment shots to calibrate his aim. Kambosos simply not getting close to him, getting lit up with light pot-shot jabs.

10-9 Peña

29-28 Peña

 

Welcome.


(to another prospect exposure.. )

 

Round 4

Peña is still playing his dangerous game, mucking around in front of Kambosos, giving him no respect, just using that length and height to keep slightly beyond his reach, occasionally leaning backward with a drop of his rear shoulder or just a full-body twitch outside, but Kambosos is getting closer and closer to landing flush with a big overhand right on the way in, a few landing obliquely. Finally he nails him with a big one, splash over the orbital bone on the left side, and follows up with a short left hook dashing in. Down goes Peña.

10-8 Kambosos

38-37 Kambosos

 

The Death & Resurrection of the GKJ Bandwagon: A Play in 5 (?) Acts..

 

Should that have been a jab knockdown?

Anyway, 48-46 GKJ

 

TKO6, baby.
