Hassan N'Dam N'jikam vs. Avtandil Khurtsidze RBR

Damn the Georgian anthem is long.

 

Round 1

HNN moving quickly around, jabbing and hooking. Khurtsidze is walking into jabs and trying to lunge up high with his own hooks lifting himself off his toes. HNN launches a huge right hand from across the ring and then steps into a hook. Khurtsidze is getting pommeled. HNN stays on the outside and boxes, firing quick bursts of power punches. Khurtsidze tries to lean him into the ropes but HNN blasts him to the body and squirms free. Khurtsidze lands a really nice overhand right at the bell.

10-9 N'Dam N'jikam

 

Round 2

HNN continues to punch on the move while Khurtsidze tries to trap him, getting him cornered on the ropes but HNN fights his way loose, incorporating some uppercuts. Khurtsidze reaching with body punches, and stalking forward. Khurtsidze keeps missing jabs while chasing, and HNN keeps running and slipping shots and landing from the outside. They trade and the crowd gets into it. Khurtsidze is taking bombs on the chin and keeps coming.

 

Round 3

Khurtsidze is constantly crowding his way in and forcing HNN to exchange in the pocket. HNN is cleaving to the ropes and trying to hook him from outside. HNN using his feet to avoid getting trapped. Khurtsidze just goes for broke and runs forward with high hooks. HNN is bleeding. Khurtsidze keeps boring in with his head down and ripping hard shots while HNN counters him.

 

Round 4

AK lands a nice leaping hook. HNN makes himself a mobile target but AK is starting to predict his movements and time him. HNN is rocked into the corner and is using his quickness to try and create some space, and hooking harder from outside with his feet planted to slow AK down. There is no slowing AK down, he keeps following his fists into the fray. HNN lands a nice right hand counter while continually moving. HNN lands whipping body shots with both hands. AK can't get close to him now. Big right hand from HNN, then an uppercut as he turns. Clinch and Khurtsidze does some inside punching.

 

Round 5

HNN is dancing around the ring now, leaving his arms swaying in his wake as he glides around well outside AK's range. AK tries to close the gap but is countered hard as HNN is ready for him. Hooks to the body and downward right hands land on AK. HNN is throwing hard shots nonstop and almost loses his balance. AK rushes in with a chopping right hand (landing with the underside of the fist - the area below the pinky). He also catches HNN with a lunging straight right.
