Kell Brook vs. Lovemore N'Dou RBR

Round 4

Brook is working good body shots as he bends in and tries to avoid the thunderous straight rights N'Dou drops down to intercept him. Brook does well when throwing jabs and hooks to the body as his right hand protects his face to parry away the rights of N'Dou, but when he actually removes that weapon from its quiver he is getting his face scraped...exposing a lack of mobility in the neck. He tries to turn away from the shots but is still getting hit on his way in and out whenever his right hand isn't up by his chin. N'Dou is slapping away at him with overhands and scoring as Brook starts to just bend over and put up his left shoulder as a shield. Now Brook comes on with some good combos. Brook seems to have turned southpaw as he crab-walks in with right hooks pushing N'Dou to the ropes. N'Dou is slapping away with those overhands and scoring copiously as Brook just neglects defense altoghether.

39-37 Brook

 

Round 5

N'Dou comes out aggressive, pumping overhands from either side. Brook is countering with straight rights and backing away. N'Dou walks straight on to jabs willingly, letting them pierce through his now shoddily assembled guard as he tries to press in and land more of his crowbar shots. Brook is keeping distance well now, putting jabs and hooks all over the head of N'Dou wherever there isn't red leather.

10-9 Brook

49-46 Brook

 

Round 6

Brook continues to work efficiently with his jab and lead right, catching N'Dou in clinches when the swarming attacks get too close for comfort. N'Dou for his part keeps tethering himself to Brook but is reduced to wider and wider shots now. Big combos by Brook, rolling his fists rapidly from body to head as though working on a speed bag suspended on marionette strings and being yanked up. Big left hook by Brook! N'Dou grabs and holds. N'Dou is hurt!!! 1-2 by Brook! N'Dou can't hold!! He is about to get stopped!!!!

10-9 Brook, but more than halfway towards being a knockdown-free 10-8.
