Krzysztof Wlodarczyk vs. Rakhim Chakhkiev RBR

Round 6

Chakhkiev is splicing in the left uppercut behind the right jab, to great effect. He is mixing that combo t head and body and herding Wlodarczyk over every inch of the mat, double-time. Wlodarczyk keeps running out of room and is forced to blast his way free with right uppercuts springing up from a crouch. OH WOW! Chakhkiev is down in the final second (literally) and the ref gives a count! I will need to see the replay of the shot, if there indeed was one. edit: ILLEGAL BLOW! Wlodarczyk smashed him with a left hook on the break as they were vaulting apart from a clinch!

10-8 Wlodarczyk

58-54 Chakhkiev

 

Round 7

Wlodarczyk is firing hard straight rights, giving them a little bit of lift to hurdle over Chakhkiev's gloves. Wlodarczyk is meaning to knock him out here. BIG sustained attack by Wlodarczyk. Chakhkiev is forced to adopt the same defensive measures Wlodarczyk did for most of the first half, shelling up and surrendering terrain. Chakhkiev is a bit more clever in his movement than Wlodarczyk had been, using more angles with crescent body feints to get Wlodarczyk off his trail. BIG turnaround by Chakhkiev with about thirty seconds left, pounding both halves of Wlodarczyk's shiny dome with hooks. OH MY GOD!! WLODARCZYK LANDS A BIG LEFT HOOK AND DROPS HIM AGAIN WITH MOMENTS LEFT IN THE ROUND.

10-8 Wlodarczyk

66-64 Chakhkiev
