Mario Thomás Barrios vs. Gervontaa Davis & Erickson Lubin vs. Jeison Manuel Rosario Bаstardo RBR

Dalton Bodie vs. Trever Bradshaw, 4 rounds @ super middleweight

(IG Live video active once more, they're leaving it dormant between fights apparently but same link as up above)

 

...somebody's (or both's, in case of a draw or NC) record of 1-0-0-0 has got to go!

 

Bodie is a 22 year old southpaw from South Carolina (discovered & trained by Paul "The Punisher" Williams), and Bradshaw a 33 year old ex-con looking brick-shithouse recently crossing over from MMA (where his pro record was a meh 4-6) hailing from Salt Lake City. Both tatted, and fit, and setting a gnarly pace in Round 1 throwing crisp power combos at each other. Won't go 4 if this keeps up.

 

Good matchmaking, fairly even rounds. The only real difference maker in the judges' eyes could be the habit of Bradshaw (the slight aggressor to begin with) to go for broke after the waning clap and bombing away the last ten seconds in each. If swayed by such, they likely have it 20-18 for him.

 

Bodie rallied and got 'im, KO3!

 

It was great to see PTP in a boxing ring.

 

I don't like that you can't rewind an IG Live, or replay it until the creator puts it up as part of their pinned story later. I missed Bodie's victory flurry, would have liked another look.

 

Ya boy is up, @greynotsoold !

 

Lame, they cut off the last minute of round eight between Gutiérrez and Hernández (a couple of the chubbiest welters I can remember ever seeing, btw - in fairness, they're both quite blown up and were a natural FW and lightweight respectively in their primes - and yet slugging it out in a fairly entertaining manner) just to show Tank entering the venue with his entourage.

 

...all the way into his locker room, so basically just screw the rest of Gutiérrez vs. Hernández then, we don't even get to see the reading of the judges' verdict. Assuming nobody got a last minute KO.
