Luis Nery vs. Shinsuke Yamanaka II & Ryosuke Iwasa vs. Ernesto Saulong + Ao vs. Diaz II RBR.

6-More of the same, Iwasa backing Saulong up but not increasing the pace, Saulong looks out of his depth, nice left from Iwasa, 1-2 Iwasa, but no immediate follow up, a hard left snaps Saulong's head back-but Iwasa again doesn't jump on him, another single left, and one to the body, Saulong trying to fight back but the class is showing and Iwasa is finally upping the pace

 

7-Iwasa looks more energetic to begin the round, a left lands, and another, Saulong coming forward and lands a looping right hand, a left from Iwasa, and another, Saulong holding a lot now and looks to be breaking down mentally, a huge sweeping left from Iwasa, a right hand from Iwasa, a 2-1, a right hand back from Saulong, a left from Iwasa, a right uppercut on the bell

If you're not going to increase the pace how about a few lefts to the body Eagle eye?

 

8-Saulong on the front foot and letting his hands,good body shot from Iwasa, and another as he counters a Saulong flurry. A left up top from Iwasa, and another, and one to the body, and another up top, and one more, Saulong gets tagged hard late but lands his own right hand and one to the body from Saulong

So...this has gone on faaaaaar longer than expected

 

9-Saulong with a body shot and he's looking determined, a good left from Iwasa, a combination from Saulong, a left from Iwasa, hard left from Iwasa, back comes Saulong with salvo of shots up close, body shot Saulong, Iwasa with a left hand late, one of Saulong's best rounds

 

Reminds me of the infamous Floyd/Ellerbe photo

 

Just tuned in, Saulong not looking bad

 

10-Saulong coming out with ambition and forces Iwasa backwards, a nice left from Iwasa, and another, Saulong starting to pose more questions of Yamanaka, Saulong charges head first, and again, a very messy round now, 1-2 Iwasa, Saulong charges forward and he unleashes another flurry, body shot by Saulong, 1-2 Iwasa up top, Saulong leading with the head a lot now, good left by Iwasa

 

At best he's taken 3 rounds, including potentially the last 2

Iwasa massively under-performing

 

Wow I haven’t laughed like that in a minute. Thanks for this

 

Saulong showed a lot of heart there

 

11-Saulong forcing Iwasa backwards and throwing the kitchen sink at him, great action coming from Saulong now but where was this earlier? Body shot Iwasa, right hand up top from Saulong, left by Iwasa, hard left on the shin by Iwasa and he's now hunting, Saulong fires back and Iwasa backs off, body shot from Iwasa, a left up top, 1-2 Iwasa, Saulong backs off, Iwasa going for the finish and Saulong holds. Iwasa with another left, what a round we're having with Saulong firing back whenever he gets caught, a right hook from Iwasa as he takes a right from Saulong, another body shot from Iwasa. THE best round of the fight!

 

12-Saulong on the front foot, Iwasa holding, Saulong charge head first – he needs a KO now, the challenger letting his hands go, a left from Iwasa, 1-2-1 from Iwasa, body shots fired back in return, a right, and a left from Iwasa, a left from Iwasa up top, Saulonmg showing heart and determination but not the power or activity, HUGE left from Iwasa!

Iwasa gets the UD, and loses some shine, Saulong proved to be tough and gutsy but out classed

 

Yamanaka better beat this PED and weight cheat
