Marco Huck vs. Ran Nakash & Robert Helenius vs. Samuel Peter RBR

Round 7

Nakash comes forward winging hard body shots. Huck is getting forced back, and Nakash is throwing long overhand rights and just reaching Huck with the very tip of them. Huck has his left arm tied up with Nakash's right and tries digging some uppercuts to the body with his free hand. Very ugly fight now. Double jab to the face and uppercut to the body by Huck. clinch. 1-1-2 to the face by Nakash. Huck has his arms low when they break, but quickly gets them up as Nakash presses in with right hands. Huck tries to get his uppercut through but Nakash just smothers him. Hard uppercuts to the head now as Nakash leans forward. Nakash holds on. Big right hand by Nakash when they break. Another clinch. Rough stuff. Huck tries the uppercut again.

Maybe another Nakash round there. On second thought, those uppercuts to the head were pretty clean...maybe the best stuff of the round.

69-64 Huck but not a domination.

 

Round 8

Huck swings away with low-arcing shots. The right uppercut is a bounty of both scoring and damage as Nakash keeps leaving his face pointed at the ground and wide open coming forward. Huck nails him with an overhand right. Nakash comes forward and wings a wild right hand but falls into a clinch. Nakash has his elbows out at his sides coming forward and Huck is looping his arms through them to tie up before pushing off when Cortez calls for a break. Nakash jabbed in the face but dives forward to grab Huck around the waist before a loaded-up right uppercut can fly at him. Nakash down, slip. Big 1-2 by Nakash, blocked. Hard body shot by Huck, but no leverage on it as it's delivered from behind..a pull-shot.

79-73 Huck

 

Round 9

Nakash is powering through with right hands, and Huck is content to use the earmuffs defense instead of moving his legs to get out of range anymore. Nakash is walking him all over the ring, but getting brutalized with uppercuts to the body. Nice little action-packed exchanges now, with less clinching. Mostly their trading is interrupted when Huck is slammed back-first into the ropes now (as opposed to the frequent tying up in the center of the ring that we got earlier). Huck swings wildly and Nakash ducks down, not having to bend forward that much to be able to make Huck slice air due to his already stumpy height.

:think Close round, there. Huck still probably landing the cleanest stuff.

 

It certainly isn't because of slick defense. :yep
