Jean Pascal vs. Bernard Hopkins & undercard RBR

Round 8

Fury presses and jabs; Page dodges and grabs. Page starts mixing in scooping hooks to the body but is a bit lazy with them. Page keeps backing away defensively, but bursts off the ropes with some high rainbow right hands. They stay in close and wrestle a bit with some minimal infighting. Fury tries to smash his way free and Page just keeps burrowing into his chest until Fury winds up pushing down on his head to get him off, which annoys Marlon Wright enough to call for a break. Fury double jabs and throws a lazy right hand that Page blocks. Page fires up some high right uppercuts but has them deflected by the busy arms of Fury.

 

Oh wow. I didn't remember him from Cinderella Man.

Of course, I might not have even known who he was yet at the time. :think

 

In general I do agree with that 100%.

There have been a couple of decent heavyweight battles in recent memory, though.

Adamek-Arreola
Walker-Leapai
Chisora-Sexton II

Um...yeah that's about it off the top of my head.

 

Who is ready for Kevin Bizier vs. Ronnie Warrior Jr.?

 

Round 1

Bizier leads with a right hand and follows with several hard hooks to the head and body as Warrior languishes in a corner. Bizier keeps at him hard, favoring the left hook. Warrior throws his southpaw jab and digs some right hooks to the body but is getting completely tooled over with the aggression and accuracy of Bizier. Warrior flurries but Bizier throws up a quick guard and defends on his way in. More hard hooks land under Warrior's right elbow. Bizier leads with a right uppercut through the guard and lands some more body hooks. Warrior tries to back away and turn sharply on the ropes to avoid getting caught in a corner, leaving jabs in his trail. Bizier watches cautiously, then bursts in with very sharp straight rights and left hooks. Warrior shoeshines the body and Bizier throws a hard combo upstairs.

10-9 Bizier

 

Round 2

Bizier comes forward with hard jabs, hooks and uppercuts all put together fluidly as Warrior tries to cover up. Very hard uppercuts just above the belt land for Bizier. Warrior is backed up consistently, trying to put some jabs and straight lefts out to keep Bizier at bay but getting beaten around the ring. Bizier gets in close and Warrior pulls him into a clinch against the ropes, quickly broken. Bizier misses a 1-2 and Warrior ties him up about the waist. Bizier follows with jabs and hard hooks up high. Warrior throws a couple of soft punches at the bell.

20-18
