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

That was for @UnleashtheFURY 's benefit.

 

Round 2

Bivol is putting his left glove out and letting it meander, like a military drone following Pascal wherever he bobs, head lolling but never without the jab hand of Bivol trailing a few inches from his nose. Pascal getting his beard chipped away on as Bivol gets into a nice jabbing rhythm at medium range. HUGE left hook traded simultaneously from both men, Pascal ducking Bivol's altogether while his is partially blocked. Pascal is shelling up as Bivol starts working the 1-2 from outside. Lead hooks scooting in from Bivol, sort of taking a page from Pascal's own book (minus his feet coming off the canvas). Bivol is jabbing the body, then resuming his posture on the outside, waiting on Pascal to give him something to counter.

10-9 Bivol

20-18 Bivol

 

2018 Pascal in the ring = 2018 RJJ in the ring. Indistinguishable.
