Micki Nielsen vs. Mirko Larghetti RBR

Round 3

Larghetti is getting his jab swept aside by the hooking right of Nielsen. They duel with jabs and the southpaw gets the best of the fencing at expanded intervals, shooting his over Larghetti's. Solid left hand counters by Nielsen as Larghetti crowds in, covering up and pawing with the jab but not closing ranks enough to get off anything meaningful.

10-9 Nielsen

30-27 Nielsen

 

Round 4

Nielsen is clapping the left uppercut against Larghetti's hip bone and bouncing right hook off his skull. Larghetti is taking aim with the right hand and hoping to catch Nielsen in an exchange. He finally does and Nielsen is stunned, holding. Nielsen circles out to mid-range and pecks with the sharp jab, plumbing low with the left uppercut. Larghetti keeps trying with the right hand tossed hard & repeatedly on the way in.

10-9 Nielsen

40-36 Nielsen

 

Closer but still very clear. Mirko had the one moment.

 

Round 5

Larghetti is putting the pressure on, hoping to recapture lightning in a bottle with the right hand, punching with Nielsen as he is opening up with counters in combination. Nielsen is careful not to stay in the pocket, but the movement is tuckering him out and his legs do begin to show a decrease in celerity. Nielsen keeps Larghetti at bay with flurries while pivoting his way clear of the corners, but his accuracy is diminishing, hitting gloves or whiffing past Larghetti's head more often.

10-9 Nielsen

50-45 Nielsen
