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

And kind of a dandy, see his flashback to his first time getting struck with a closed fist in a boxing ring? He would probably never be fighting if not for Rock pushing him.

On the other hand, McKenzie basically admitted that he refused Tommy's wishes to change his last name repeatedly during his life and only did so eventually for opportunistic reasons to further his career.

So, the dopey puss versus the unemotional snake. Pick your poison.

 

Yeah, contrast Hasim Jr.'s anecdote with Shane Mosley Jr. (doing color commentary) talking about how his first bloody nose invigorated and inspired him to push on and get better.

He of course isn't a pimple on SSM's ass in terms of skill, power or speed but gotta hand it to Shane Jr. - he's tough.

 

Same but Witt gives me gross sweaty roid-raging Jake Busey likely campus rapeist vibes, so ...I might be rooting for the sawft dummy anyway.

 

Keith Norman-Robert Hunter vs. Demarius Driver, 10 rounds @ lightweight

 

...and you can tell he believes he has that Swerve Scott/Strickland swagger, but outside his own mind it comes across as just Broneresque. (that is, distilled cringe)

 

Hasn't been a good night so far to be a once-beaten second-generation fighter taking on an unknown, light-hitting undefeated foe...the Arturo Moreno vs. Alcibiade Durán result augurs poorly for Keith here.

 

Yeah that cadence just smacks late aughts UFC. I shuddered.
