Isaac Chamberlain vs. Dilan Prašović & Aaron Noel McKenna vs. Carlos Jesús Gallego Montijo RBR

Isaac Chamberlain vs. Dilan Prašović, 10 rounds @ cruiserweight

 

"IC" is a painfully stupid nickname. I wonder if he's on decent terms with Williams; could maybe get his blessing to borrow "The Brixton Bomber"?

 

Are they going to really be playing that crap all throughout?

(horns and conga drums)

 

Round 1

Prašović is attempting to cut the ring off, first with a jab and then with a looping right but whatever he does Chamberlain is beating him to it with a quick jab on the nose or bunches of body shots before they collapse together into clinches. We're talking an inordinate number of clinches in the first couple of minutes, along with some head clashes as each man sallies in looking for a left hook on the jaw, each in turn getting blocked and both forgetting to rein in their skulls before they collide. Prašović is caught bending over grabbing at Chamberlain's waist and cuffed behind the head with a right. It stuns him and he circles out, but Chamberlain stays atop him, digging a few hard left hooks into the liver and Prašović goes down and rides nearly a whole count, popping up at nine hoping to be saved by the bell, nothing doing!

KO1!!

 

Twas an impressive KO, though.

And it blessedly saved us another nine rounds of all that clinching, so I'm quite grateful to him, relevant or not.

(what is it about fighting Okolie, octopus qualities rub off on all his opponents? )

 

Which win was Chamberlain's best before this, then? Probably either Luke Watkins or Wadi Camacho? (incidentally both fellow Okolie victims)
