MTK Global: Mohamed Mimoune vs. Darren Richardson Surtees & Logan Yoon vs. Ohara Davies RBR

McKenna putting some daylight between them now. Really diligent work pinning Asumadu-Sakyi on the ropes with right hooks and straight lefts, changing levels often, body to head and back, and using good head movement & picking off shots on the inside to deny Asumadu-Sakyi's back-against-the-ropes counters.

39-37 McKenna

 

McKenna looks class. He'll make for an intriguing fight with anybody that's left.

 

49-46 McKenna

Only question now is whether he can halt Asumadu-Sakyi within schedule and nab that KO bonus. There's half the fight left to find out.. and I couldn't hazard a guess. (knowing absolutely nothing about the latter's gas tank or chin)

 

Started to look a bit in the 6th like a stoppage may indeed be in the cards for McKenna, if he wants it & works at it...

59-55 TM

 

McKenna is just one Catterall leftover of two in this Golden Contract tourney. You haven't yet missed Davies; he fights next.

 

McKenna looking shit-hot the longer this goes. I guess he's a cold-opener sort, who gradually warms into the fight.

 

69-64 McKenna, getting to be a low-level prolonged mugging.

 

Do you remember seeing Yoon? If anything likely on the Bivol vs. Pascal undercard (as the rest of his appearances have been small hall shows put on by small-fry promoters).

@ellerbe was just saying there's nothing of him on YouTube, which could mean he's shit, or could just mean he's good and his team wants to avoid him being scouted.

 

McKenna doesn't seem the least bit fussed with missing the KO bonus. Cruising to a lopsided decision here.

79-73

 

In fairness to Mikey Sakyi, he was a late-notice substitute (along with Kieran Gething, actually) for Anthony Yigit and Zhankosh Turarov...

But he doesn't belong in the bracket with talents like McKenna, Ofori, and Mimoune tbh.
