Ovill McKenzie vs. Matty Askin RBR

Round 5

McKenzie is rolling his left glove by his waistband, feinting the jab but not pulling trigger. Askin darts in and peppers him with a couple of jabs. Wide-out circular movement by Askin, keeping distance, keeping McKenzie shy about lunging in. Askin darts in, jabs, ties up. McKenzie lands a flagrant rabbit punch and is docked a point. McKenzie is following, again losing the jab battle, again tentative despite coming forward.

10-8 Askin

48-46 Askin

 

Ovill nearing the point of needing a KO.

Lucky for him, able to crack.

edit: LIKE THAT! LITERALLY AS I PRESSED SUBMIT!

 

Round 6

Clinch, Askin falling between the ropes onto the ring apron. McKenzie is faking the jab, retracting into a low holster, lulling Askin while plodding in. BIG RIGHT HAND BY MCKENZIE. Askin is badly shaken up. McKenzie keeps the leather raining down. Ones and twos. Askin eases off and eludes McKenzie, dancing around the ring, arms held out to brace off. Askin touches McKenzie's shoulders and pushes off them, swiping a cat's-paw hook as he rushes to his right in a wide arc.

10-9 McKenzie

57-56 Askin

 

Round 7

McKenzie is landing short uppercuts against the ear of Askin at close range when they narrow the gap. On the outside Askin is pushing his left jab weakly into McKenzie's now-high guard. McKenzie eats a couple of jabs and then pauses a moment too long in lowering the right-hand boom to counter and is snatched into a hold as Askin jumps into him. Some kind of foul, maybe excessive holding; Askin has a point deducted by the ref. McKenzie is staying atop Askin, jabbing and brushing his face with uppercuts. LATE HIT AFTER THE BELL BY ASKIN! Left hook, angered.

10-8 McKenzie

66-65 McKenzie
