Jean Pascal vs. Aleksy Kuziemski RBR

Round 8

Kuziemski is stepping in and then hitting the brakes, wary of the counter rights. Kuziemski misses a left hook, not his money punch and thrown awkwardly (and even slower than his right, but without the same timing, aim, and force). Pascal is coasting again, just playing at being untouchable and slapping over with the right every now and then. Kuziemski gets closer and Pascal begins to crack him with rights to the body. They exchange and lands rights to the face. Kuziemski scores a 1-2 as Pascal lays his upper back on the ropes, turning his head but still getting hit. Kuziemski tries to pressure but Pascal has the left arm held out straight in his face like a push-broom.

10-9 Pascal

78-73 Pascal

 

You could definitely give Kuziemski the 8th.

 

Arguable, yeah.

Gaby Mancini gave it to Pascal, and has the same overall score as me.

 

Round 9

Kuziemski is stepping laterally, a bit clumsy, throwing the 1-2 constantly but not affecting Pascal even when it gets through. Pascal is keeping his arms low, countering to the body, and at times resuming his Mayweather imitation. Mostly Pascal is just luring Kuziemski around the ring and throwing lead rights as either high windmills or body shots. More Mayweather nods, Pascal sticking his left forearm out to block, then pulling straight back to slip a Kuziemski 1-2. Pascal bats Kuziemski away with a few right hands. Kuziemski keeps plugging away as he walks Pascal to the ropes but is largely made to miss as Pascal ducks and turns.

10-9 Pascal

88-82 Pascal

 

Probably instinct.


Probably stung.

 

Pascal's trainer is gently massaging the left shoulder in the corner.
