Manuel Charr vs. Yakup Saglam & Alexander Alexeev vs. Garrett Wilson RBR

Round 5

More jabs and movement by Alexeev. More following and waiting by Wilson. Alexeev is starting to ship a bit more as Wilson reaches up and catches him with left hooks over the eyes as they spin in the pocket with Alexeev putting a guiding hand on Wilson to give him the dreidel treatment. A couple of high clubbing rights by Wilson, grazing. Not enough to steal it, as Alexeev put enough jabs in the bank for the first two minutes.

10-9 Alexeev

50-45 Alexeev

 

I don't know...if Wilson manages to land big and justify Alexeev's fears... :think

It isn't like YPH has the greatest chin himself.

I don't know that Garrett is all that much worse than (or dissimilar from) Wayne Braithwaite...

 

Round 6

Alexeev is measuring with his right jab and keeping his legs scissoring or shuffling just enough to stay well in front of Wilson. A light crop-dusting of right jabs by Alexeev, and the left uppercut beneath the elbows again. Wilson charges in with jabs and rights hauled off from the upper chest, mostly gumming up in Alexeev's folded arms without getting through. More jabs by Alexeev. Wilson down again, slip.

10-9 Alexeev

60-54 Alexeev

 

Round 7

Alexeev is beginning to lean forward to put extra momentum into his right jab, and then jabbing again quickly in riposte after slight leans away from Wilson's counter flurries. Alexeev is totally in control of the distance, able to step in and out as he pleases and score with the jab without any check maneuvers by Wilson. WILD haymaker over the top by Wilson, swung off balance and doubled over behind Alexeev. More jabs by Alexeev, and a few combos to the sides of the head as Wilson bows it and comes stampeding in. Single grazing left hook by Wilson at the bell.

10-9 Alexeev

70-63 Alexeev

 

Alexeev is looking so-so, I wouldn't say poor.

He's looking 10x better than Charr today. :yep
