RJJ Promotions: James McKenzie Witt Morrison vs. Hasim Shariff Rahman, Jr. RBR

This apple fell far from Hands of Stone's tree. Lacks any vestige of his pop's natural "ring sense" and viciousness.

 

IB Funfact: the aforementioned 1-6 fighter who beat Moreno to the privilege of exposing Alcibiade Durán was an East Coast southpaw named Jermaine Corley. Contining the theme of "sons of legends" (loosely applying that term, perhaps) - yes, that is Chop-Chop's kid.

 

Business end of the card directly after this one in progress.

Six bout card, Gamhour vs. Pichardo transpired before the PPV, and McClellan Jr. and Sharif Rahman already defeated their opponents.

Coming up in the co-feature is Michael Hunter's younger bro.

 

Durán's laziness plodding forward and Moreno's negativity staying on his bike pot shotting jabs are conspiring to put me to sleep. The commentators blowing smoke up Roy Jones' ass calling this great matchmaking a couple of rounds ago have no shame; this is the worst possible sort of thing you want to subject your crowd to before the co-main events. They're going to be dead.

 

49-46 Moreno, but watch him get robbed. If there isn't a KO6 (he is leg-weary..)

 

For reference: by the age of 33 (which Durán Jr. is now) his father was a three division world champion and already an ATG.

Not a chip off the ol' Piedra.

 

The play by play man has a shutout for Moreno.

 

Official cards:

Adelaide Byrd 60-54
Tim Cheatham 58-56
Patricia Morse Jarman 59-55

UD for Moreno, nice.

 

WTF, they pulled out a slate of judges with vast championship experience for this one? I wasn't expecting a panel of three very high-profile names when the ring announcer started reading the cards.
