Nathan Cleverly vs. Sergey Kovalev & Ovill McKenzie vs. Enzo Maccarinelli II RBR

No shame in that.

 

Round 1

Al Hamidi is bouncing around on the outside, bending his knees quickly and rolling in either direction with his gloves lowering, making himself into a whack-a-mole for Evans' southpaw jab. Al Hamidi is tossing in light straight body combos as he circles, all just tickling if they touch at all. Strong right jab by Evans stepping forward. Left hand knocks Al Hamidi back into the ropes. Evans presses in and hooks while Al Hamidi skips out to the side, bowing his head.

10-9 Evans

 

We're virtually 100% guaranteed to get another 7 rounds of that, folks. :yep

Evans is a classy young kid but not a puncher and it's nigh impossible to stop Al Hamidi. (though simple enough a matter to beat him; with his unofficial job title being "prospect scratchpad" - a guy you try new things against, work out some kinks - no fear of being stopped or picking up a loss, but certain to get rounds in...)

 

Round 2

Al Hamidi is jabbing on the step left, scrunching himself up tightly and tiptoeing by Evans, putting out soft right hand leads to the body. Evans patiently catches all of Al Hamidi's shots and counters with the right jab up top and quick left to the belly. Big left uppercut by Evans, rocking Al Hamidi into the ropes. Al Hamidi flops in to clinch, about which Evans complains. Al Hamidi shrugs at the ref.

10-9 Evans

20-18 Evans

 

Round 3

Al Hamidi is hopping in and out with his jab. Evans is catching him with the lefty 1-2 and long jab while taking his measure and keeping his stance while simply pivoting to keep up with Al Hamidi's busy movement.

10-9 Evans

30-27 Evans

 

I would think at least fans.

I've worked out plenty of times in just raw heat. It's good for you. Suck it up, Sergey. :yep

He's from a climate that doesn't get anywhere near that hot, is all. If you're more used to it, or even from a temperate climate where summer can get pretty hot, you can be more or less comfortable with it...especially if you're looking to sweat off some weight.

 

Round 4

Al Hamidi is rushing in, getting tapped on the face with single right jabs and hooks from Evans. A bit of showboating from Evans, simply dodging with a step to his right and whipping in the hook or high jab from the hip without bringing it to his jawline. Evans now settles into a full shoulder roll imitation as he circles Al Hamidi.

10-9 Evans

40-36 Evans
