HBO: Dmitry Yuriyevich Bivol vs. Jean-Thenistor Pascal & Murodjon Akhmadaliev vs. Isaac Zarate RBR

Round 10

Bivol is lighting Pascal up with the 1-2, and spanking Pascal with some hooks on the lower torso. Pascal is pressing forward and forcing exchanges but getting the worst of them. Pascal is flurrying and getting countered bang on the nose and on the flanks. Pascal now eating jabs as he slows his output. They press together and Pascal tries prying free with an uppercut to arrange Bivol in the hooking zone. Pascal muscles Bivol into the ropes and hooks the body with both hands. Bivol jabs his way free, then wrestles Pascal in the middle of the ring with a wrist looped around his neck. A trickle of jabs from Bivol as Pascal just lays against the ropes, exhausted.

10-9 Bivol

100-90 Bivol

 

Lederman has it 99-91 Bivol, giving Pascal only round 10.

 

Round 11

Bivol is knocking Pascal off balance repeatedly with the 1-2 as Pascal comes barging in, despite his clear fatigue, with big hooks. In the downtime, Pascal is standing off, catching his breath, watching Bivol from a distance and picking off a few jabs. Bivol is breaking into quick lateral hops, doubling jabs and then putting in rights everywhere he lands. Pascal is staying in a half-assed shoulder roll, except not fully rotating his body the standard quarter-turn...barely an eighth...taking some of the sting off Bivol's shots but not really evading them.

10-9 Bivol

110-99 Bivol
