Ricky Burns vs. Dejan Zlaticanin & Willie Limond vs. Curtis Woodhouse RBR

Ah, no mate, the first post was a gut feeling that he should be able to get the stoppage but likely wouldn't because of the low work rate he was sporting until the 8th or 9th.

Then once he picked it up, I still felt in that 2nd post you quoted that he wouldn't quite stop him (due to Camacho's survival instincts and clinching) but did anticipate he would get at least one knockdown in before the end.

Simmons really showed a bit of finishing ability there, paced himself and fought hard. :good

 

Round 1

Woodhouse is reaching for Limond's head with the jab. Limond turns and stays out of range. Woodhouse is dropping his weight and scooting in behind the jab, made to alter his stride as Limond keeps turning him. Limond bowls a combination across the gap and stuns Woodhouse, then back to circling wide and jabbing. Woodhouse can't reach with the head jab and tries a few on the body, scoring a bit.

10-9 Limond

 

Round 2

Woodhouse is leading with his left jab, walking forward, Limond not doing much but step away, eyeballing Woodhouse and mulling over some counter-punching but keeping his fists sheathed. Limond starts timing Woodhouse, snapping a jab out past his and catching Woodhouse around the eyes and lower mandible, over and below the resting position of Woodhouse's gloves. Woodhouse is jabbing in predictable rhythm with the lifting and lateral placement of his feet. Limond is timing him well. A bit of redness around the face of Woodhouse already.

10-9 Limond

20-18 Limond

 

"Somebody use the back hand! :twisted:"

Watt be hating on jabs. :bart

 

Round 3

Woodhouse is jabbing, squatting and cruising in, rolling up the right hand, still a bit shy of target. Limond is turning Woodhouse, peering down between his gloves, and lining up 1-2s. Three punch combo by Limond tilting in as Woodhouse crouches before him. Double jab into the guard by Woodhouse. Left hook to the body by Woodhouse, caught spinning around Limond in a clinch. BIG COUNTER LEFT UPPERCUT OFF A THROWAWAY LEAD RIGHT, BLAZING UP THE MIDDLE BY LIMOND, WOODHOUSE DOWN! Saved by the bell.

10-8 Limond

30-26 Limond

 

"That's what I'm saying, ya lead with the back hand to set 'er up!!! :jjj"

Watt got his jollies there.

 

Props to Willie for a peach of a shot.

Props to Curtis for getting up.
