Marco Huck vs. Matt Godfrey RBR

Round 4

Helenius sticks his left arm out and jiggles it like a toilet plunger in Tony's drain hole. Tony stands in front of Helenius looking uncertain. Helenius wakes up every several seconds and throws a soft jab or a semi-hook. Tony does nothing. Helenius shows a bit of defense as Tony decides to lead for a moment, up-jabbing and ducking into a body 1-2. Tony pays for his choice when Helenius times him with a flush 1-2 of his own and Tony sprawls forward on the mat. Helenius haunts him with the jab for the rest of the round.

Helenius with a clean sweep.

 

Round 5

They appear to be giving each other a high five as Tony easily picks off the slow jab of Helenius. Tony is staying just out of reach until Helenius hurls himself forward and drags Tony, dragging him in like an octopus before a break is called. Helenius begins to time Tony's slow movement with his slow but somehow still accurate jab. Tony gets jabbed in the face, brings his hands up, and takes a brushing right to the body. There is a lot of clinching in this round, with arms curving up and wrapping around the back of each other's heads. A lot of clinching. Tony takes a couple of right hands that get him a little wobbly and one finally puts him down as he is stepping forward trying to initiate a clinch.

Another 10-8 Helenius round.

This is the most mellow ass kicking I've seen in a while.

 

Round 6

Tony stupidly lunges in with a 1-2 with his chin sticking out and pays for it, again getting crumpled by a Helenius right cross. Tony takes one more after getting up that has him planting his butt on the middle ropes to stay up and he argues when the TKO victory is awarded to Helenius but really has no case.

 

It took me a second to catch your meaning. (You meant is there someone taking dictation, right?).

I type about 95 wpm without looking. :good

 

It is weird that Tony had his interview in English. He is French. France and Germany are neighbors (hell, their languages and cultures even overlap in Belgium!)

:?

He seemed to have gotten over his protests of the stoppage and was more bummed out and deflated than anything. Even Godfrey took his loss with his chin held higher.

 

Dominik Britsch vs. Lorenzo Cosseddu, middleweights scheduled for eight.

Round 1

Britsch has the slicker haircut (and with all that grease probably would even if Cosseddu weren't bald) and the slicker skills. Little pesky combinations land for Britsch on the inside before he yanks his own reigns and gets into a lateral movement groove. Cosseddu bears a slight resemblance to Arthur Abraham and is so far similar to the early-round version of the notorious slow starter. (He follows and guards for the most part.)

10-9 Britsch

 

Round 2

Cosseddu has an extremely sloppy right hand with no prayer of landing it on a mover like Britsch. Body jabs score for Cosseddu but that's it. Britsch boxes his ears off again in this round, jabbing in multiples and twinkle-toeing around the ring without really getting too far out of range. Little shuffle steps backward invite Cosseddu in to get countered as Britsch reverses his momentum and steps into his shots. Cosseddu tries to touch the body a bit and gets wild when he connects. Britsch gets back into his jabbing rhythm within moments.

20-18 Britsch
