Jon Fernández Dominguez vs. Alexander Olegovich Podolsky RBR

Round 4

Fernández loses a point for some reason. Time in. Fernández is jumping in scoring flush sharp jabs on the face. Podolsky is windmilling his arms at Fernández on the way in hoping to catch him and then pushing down on the back of his neck. Chopping rabbit punch by Podolsky and he has a point taken as well. Podolsky is getting frustrated now, going a bit low with his wrecking ball uppercuts from outside as well, landing most of them on the groin and inner thigh of Fernández on the blind side of the ref. Fernández tying up to recover and scoring jabs in between the clinches when broken.

9-8 Fernández (10-9 Fernández, points from both men)

39-34 Fernández

 

WBC open scoring. From the crowd reaction I'd wager Fernández is up.

 

Round 5

Podolsky dropped by a 1-2 between the eyes! Podolsky is swinging wildly, all hooks. Getting countered to death but landing a few here and there.

10-8 Fernández

49-43 Fernández

 

Round 6

Fernández is ducking and sliding clear of Podolsky's slow probing jab. Fernández able to scoot his way artfully in zigzags around the ring to avoid Podolsky's massive ball-on-chain hooks. Podolsky is running after his man and throwing bombs, getting both eye sockets torn up by pinpoint jabs as Fernández ducks and weaves, firing in rhythm from a crouch.

10-9 Fernández

59-52 Fernández

 

Podolsky quits on his stool. RTD6!

 

Breakout performance!

For the record, the last time I had butterflies like this where I'm thinking "wow this kid has everything" was early days with Chocolatito...

 

Tremendous courage shown by Podolsky.

 

So we have a bunch of live boxing coming up to prioritize but whenever you all get a free moment, late tonight or tomorrow or whatever, check out the video above. This kid is literally everything you're looking for in a prospect, can't stress how must-watch he is.

 

I was thinking exactly that. His ceiling is probably having rivalries & swapping victories with the likes of Giner, Frenois, and Gusev. Our boy Fernández is destined for much greater things, I suspect...
