Jean Pascal vs. Roberto Bolonti & Schiller Hyppolite vs. Norbert Nemesapati RBR

I could see having given the Algierian that last one.


Mike Bilodeau (the commentator and unofficial scorecard keeper for Canadian TV outlet Vidéotron) has it a 30-27 sweep for Butler, however.

 

Round 4

Chaïbi is getting knocked around by left hooks and right hands, shrimping up and seeking cover on the ropes. Butler pushes away from clinch attempts but keeps dogging Chaïbi, not giving him any space to breathe. Wild overhand lefts by Chaïbi while ducking low, desperate. Butler now puts up high turtle shell, maybe punched out. Chaïbi pecks at him with quick, light right jabs up top. Chaïbi is pushing forward now, palms on Butler's chest, positioning him in a corner and then chest-slamming into him until the ref orders a break. Butler circles wide, taking a breather. Chaïbi follows without cutting the ring down, just stepping to him in sloppy zigzagging motions lunging and missing with light jabs.

10-9 Butler

40-36 Butler

 

Round 5

Chaïbi is getting hit with the kitchen sink and every pipe, valve, nut, and ****** of associated plumbing. Big double right hands on the face by Butler, unanswered and snapping Chaïbi's head back. Left hooks by Butler when Chaïbi falls against the ropes and twists his body around and curls his back to shield himself from the right hands. The ref steps in.

TKO5!!

 

:think Butler might be worth paying attention to.

As bad as he is, Chaïbi had gone the same exact scheduled distance or longer with Samuel Vargas plus a pair of tough Spaniards in Ceferino Rodriguez (currently EBU-EU 147lb champ, knocked out both Stefano Castellucci and Ismael El Massoudi) and Isaac Real (knocked out Emanuelle Della Rosa and gave Jack Culcay a good fight)

 

Joel Diaz Jr. vs. Pedro Navarrete, 8 rounds @ super featherweight

 

Round 1

Navarrete is ducking and turning a quarter way around, stepping back and lining up counter right hands as Diaz comes forward. Diaz is a blur of activity, throwing power combos and overwhelming Navarrete as he scurries on the backfoot.

10-9 Diaz

 

Mike Bilodeau has it 10-9 Diaz Jr.

 

Round 2

Navarrete is getting hit with big hooks on the body, try as he might to escape and use negative tactics. Pot shot jabs by Navarrete running in reverse, snapping corners to avoid the ropes. Light jabs and wide sweeping rights by Navarrete tossed out in Diaz's path. Hard hammering rights by Diaz walking in until close enough to pound the body. Stiff accurate jab at long range by Diaz, finding Navarrete as he crouches and turns in mid-step.

10-9 Diaz

20-18 Diaz

 

You mean a rematch? He would have to lose the rematch for it to become a trilogy.
