Samuels' face looks like someone filled a flesh colored balloon with ketchup and then popped it with the back end of a clawhammer.
"That was man versus boy". Yes, 22 versus 19. Kind of true, though. Samuels is twiggy and looked simply not cut out for it in there. Wide-eyed and boyish looking. Very light on the backside. Rees meanwhile is a little rottweiler.
I think probably next will be the co-feature, Frankie Gavin vs. Laszlo Komjathi (8-rounder) and then the main event. How much is left in Italy?
Laszlo Komjathi fought Christian Bladt twice here in Denmark. One by Technial DQ in the first, after Bladt (Who initially won) tested positive for marihuana. Bladt won the second too, and this time there were no positive test.
Wow, it's all gone a bit wrong for Frankie hasn't it? Newport on a Friday night is most definitely not fun time!
We can contrast Gavin's performance against Komjathi tonight against Bradley Skeete's a few months ago, as a measuring stick. Vanes Martirosyan Jr. pitched a shutout and scored one knockdown.
Round 1 Right jabs flowing by Gavin. Komjathi hops back and paws out with long light left jabs. Nice combos by Gavin sliding in, right jab and left uppercut to the head as Komjathi pulls back. High turtle shell by Komjathi, Gavin plowing through it with a 1-2. High jabs and a torpedo left to the body by Gavin. Right hook, straight left by Gavin spearing Komjathi against the ropes.

Nice defense on the front foot by Gavin. Jabs landing to the top of Komjathi 's head. Hard double left to the body by Gavin. 10-9 Gavin
Round 2 Double right hooks by Gavin. Big looping lefts scooped out to the body. Komjathi catches a few on the elbows but is still getting plugged. Right hand gets through for Komjathi. Down goes Komjathi! Quick sudden 1-2 by Gavin caught him circling off balance. Combinations by Gavin up close, flipping i n uppercuts and then turning over hooks. Varying the hardness of his punches, light at first to set up and gauge distance and angle, then putting in more power. Komjathi is backed up by a hard straight left to the body. Right hooks around the guard by Gavin, tapping Komjathi on the side of the head. Double left uppercut to the chin by Gavin, very quick. Sticking with the left uppercut, trying to time it through Komjathi's arms when he splits his guard to throw a lead right. 20-17 Gavin
