Khabib Allakhverdiev vs. Kaizer Mabuza RBR

Allakhverdiev is posing in the ring in a shiny eggshell colored robe, his entourage waving Don King style mini Russian flags (or midget style regular flags) all around him.

 

:think I'm a couple of minutes behind you.

The champ is parading his belt out now for me..

 

Kaizer's peeps are giving him a nape-of-the-neck massage.

Don't get TOO comfortable now!

 

Round 1

Allakhverdiev drops down low and pops the right jab up. Mabuza walks forward, guard up, forking out his left jab with authority. Allakhverdiev slides back, blocking and tilting his head back. Allakhverdiev circles right, jabbing with his right over Mabuza's left. Allakhverdiev patiently looking for a spot to unload a power punch - and good things come to those who wait!! Mabuza down, I think faster than he's ever been!

10-8 Allakhverdiev

 

Round 2

Allakhverdiev is flipping that right jab up into the guard of Mabuza, again circling at arm's length and letting the opening come to him instead of trying to force it. Mabuza is being careful without running, keeping his gloves up and daring a few left jabs. Allakhverdiev jogs backward toward the ropes, luring Mabuza in with a 1-2. Allakhverdiev raises his arms and shimmies off, making Mabuza miss to the body. Allakhverdiev toying with him.

20-17 Allakhverdiev
